Author: Albert Camus

Albert Camus was a French-Algerian philosopher, author, and journalist, renowned for his profound explorations of existentialism and absurdism. Born on November 7, 1913, in Mondovi, Algeria, he became a pivotal figure in 20th-century literature and thought, capturing the struggles of human existence in the face of an indifferent universe. Camus's works often grapple with themes of meaning, rebellion, and the human condition, reflecting his belief that life’s inherent absurdity requires a courageous engagement with its challenges. His notable contributions, including "The Stranger," "The Plague," and "The Myth of Sisyphus," earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957, solidifying his legacy as a voice of philosophical inquiry and literary brilliance.
