Testigo moral de la Europa destruida por la Segunda Guerra Mundial, las obras de creación y las reflexiones teóricas de Albert Camus (1913-1960) convergen en la indagación de la complejidad y ambigüedad de la condición humana. Testimonio y balance de unos años críticos de la vida pública francesa, los textos recogidos en CRÓNICAS (1944-1953) configuran un retrato inestimable de su postura ante el conflictivo y desgarrado mundo que lo rodea. «,La verdadera desesperanza ­escribe Camus en un prefacio cargado de vigencia­ proviene de que no sabemos ya nuestras razones para luchar o, precisamente, si debemos luchar. Las páginas siguientes afirman simplemente que, aunque la lucha es difícil, las razones para luchar, al menos, show more siguen siendo claras.», show less

Born in 1913 in Algeria, Albert Camus was a French novelist, dramatist, and essayist. He was deeply affected by the plight of the French during the Nazi occupation of World War II, who were subject to the military's arbitrary whims. He explored the existential human condition in such works as L'Etranger (The Outsider, 1942) and Le Mythe de Sisyphe show more (The Myth of Sisyphus, 1942), which propagated the philosophical notion of the "absurd" that was being given dramatic expression by other Theatre of the Absurd dramatists of the 1950s and 1960s. Camus also wrote a number of plays, including Caligula (1944). Much of his work was translated into English. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. Camus died in an automobile accident in 1960. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
