Albert Camus Intro Biographie Œuvres Liens "Je pense à Camus : j'ai à peine connu Camus. Je lui ai parlé une fois, deux fois. Pourtant, sa mort laisse en moi un vide énorme. Albert Camus est né en 1913, à Mondovi, en Algérie. Journaliste au quotidien du Parti Communiste et à Alger-Républicain (1938) , il se marie en 1940 et milite pendant la seconde guerre mondiale dans un mouvement de résistance. En 1942, Gallimard accepte de publier L'Etranger et le Mythe de Sisyphe. En 1943, Camus rencontre Sartre. En 1956, il publie la Chute , œuvre pessimiste et déroutante. Prix Nobel l'année suivante, à 44 ans , il devient un modèle pour toute une génération qui admire cet humaniste conciliant la pensée sans complaisance et l'action généreuse. Albert Camus est mort en 1960, sur une route de l'Yonne, dans un accident de voiture, aux côtés de son ami Michel Gallimard, neveu de Gaston Gallimard. Virginie Delisle
