The Stranger
(1942) and
The Plague
(1947), of Algerian-born French writer and philosopher Albert Camus concern the absurdity of the human condition; he won the Nobel Prize of 1957 for literature.
Origin and his experiences of this representative of non-metropolitan literature in the 1930s dominated influences in his thought and work.
He also adapted plays of Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Lope de Vega, Dino Buzzati, and Requiem for a Nun of William Faulkner. One may trace his enjoyment of the theater back to his membership in l'Equipe, an Algerian group, whose "collective creation" Révolte dans les Asturies (1934) was banned for political reasons.
Of semi-proletarian parents, early attached to intellectual circles of strongly revolutionary tendencies, with a deep interest, he came at the age of 25 years in 1938; only chance prevented him from pursuing a university career in that field. The man and the times met: Camus joined the resistance movement during the occupation and after the liberation served as a columnist for the newspaper Combat.
The essay Le Mythe de Sisyphe (The Myth of Sisyphus), 1942, expounds notion of acceptance of the absurd of Camus with "the total absence of hope, which has nothing to do with despair, a continual refusal, which must not be confused with renouncement - and a conscious dissatisfaction."
Meursault, central character of L'Étranger (The Stranger), 1942, illustrates much of this essay: man as the nauseated victim of the absurd orthodoxy of habit, later - when the young killer faces execution - tempted by despair, hope, and salvation.
Besides his fiction and essays, Camus very actively produced plays in the theater (e.g., Caligula, 1944).
The time demanded his response, chiefly in his activities, but in 1947, Camus retired from political journalism.
Doctor Rieux of La Peste (The Plague), 1947, who tirelessly attends the plague-stricken citizens of Oran, enacts the revolt against a world of the absurd and of injustice, and confirms words: "We refuse to despair of mankind. Without having the unreasonable ambition to save men, we still want to serve them."
People also well know La Chute (The Fall), work of Camus in 1956.
Camus authored L'Exil et le royaume (Exile and the Kingdom) in 1957. His austere search for moral order found its aesthetic correlative in the classicism of his art. He styled of great purity, intense concentration, and rationality.
Camus died at the age of 46 years in a car accident near Sens in le Grand Fossard in the small town of Villeblevin.

Se compilan aquí varios textos de Camus que denuncian el franquismo y la No Intervención. Una de las tesis principales es que una Europa justa y libre jamás podría erigirse sobre la esclavitud del pueblo español... ¡Y tenía razón! ¡La degeneración moral de Europa no tiene nombre! Antes al menos se lavaban las manos, «no intervenían», pero ahora... ¡a forrarse vendiendo armas al judío genocida! Incluso la "izquierda" lo hace, ¡pensad si no en la tartufa de Yolanda Díaz!
Si Camus levantara la cabeza y viera la ruina que hoy es Europa... ¡no elegiría la taza de café! Parafraseándole, por medio de las técnicas de la propaganda y del terror, los gobiernos actuales han logrado gobernar la opinión y las conciencias como las fuerzas del mundo físico...
Estas palabras de Camus ahora nos parecen cándidas... una revolución en la Europa del siglo XXI parece menos probable que... ¡se demuestre la hipótesis de Riemmann!

Quizá Europa —de la que España es solidaria— es tan miserable a causa de haberse alejado toda ella —y hasta su propio pensamiento revolucionario— de un manantial de vida generosa, de un pensamiento que asocia la justicia y la libertad en una unidad carnal, alejada igualmente de las filosofías burguesas y del socialismo cesarista. Los pueblos de España de Italia y de Francia guardan el secreto de este pensamiento; y los guardarán todavía, para que sirva llegado el momento a un renacimiento. Ese día el 19 de Julio de 1936 será también una de las fechas de la segunda revolución del siglo; fecha, que tiene su raíz en la Commune de París, que camina siempre bajo la apariencia de la derrota, pero que no ha terminado aún de sacudir el mundo y que, para terminar, llevará al hombre más lejos que ha podido llevarle la revolución rusa de 1917. Nutrida por España y, en general, por el genio libertario, ella nos devolverá un día una España y una Europa, y con ellas nuevos alientos para combatir, al fin, a cielo abierto.
Estas palabras de Camus ahora nos parecen cándidas... una revolución en la Europa del siglo XXI parece menos probable que... ¡se demuestre la hipótesis de Riemmann!
