Camus, Albert
Camus, Albert (1913–60) French novelist, playwright, and essayist. An active figure in the French Resistance, Camus achieved recognition with his debut novel
The Outsider (1942), a work permeated with the sense of individual alienation that underlies much of his writing. His later work include the novels
The Plague (1947) and
The Fall (1956), and the essay
The Rebel (1951). Camus has been associated with
existentialism and the Theatre of the
Absurd. He received the 1957 Nobel Prize in literature.
