Albert Camus

Albert Camus was born on 7 November 1913 in Mondovi, in Algeria, and grew up in the working-class district of Belcourt, in Algiers, with his mother and his grandmother. A schoolteacher helped him obtain a scholarship for the lycée. Tuberculosis, which struck him young, prevented him from sitting the agrégation. He took part in the Resistance and wrote in the newspaper Combat, then broke with Sartre in the early fifties. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 and died on 4 January 1960.
