CRUICKSHANK, JOHN Albert Camus and the Literature of Revolt
Galaxy Books / Oxford University Press, 1961. Trade Paperback. Good. Moderate cover edge wear, pages & cover toned, spine creased, shelf wear. "Albert Camus, (November 7, 1913 - January 4, 1960) was a French author and philosopher. Although he is often associated with existentialism, Camus preferred to be known as a man and a thinker, rather than as a member of a school or ideology. He preferred persons over ideas. In an interview in 1945, Camus rejected any ideological associations: â€oeNo, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked..” (Les Nouvelles litteraires, November 15, 1945). Camus was the second youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature (after Rudyard Kipling) when he became the first African-born writer to receive the award, in 1957. He is also the shortest-lived of any literature laureate to date, having died in a car crash only three years after receiving the award." -- Wikipedia.
