    Albert Camus (French: [albɛʁ kamy]; 7 November 1913 - 4 January 1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist. His views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism. He wrote in his essay The Rebel that his whole life was devoted to opposing the philosophy of nihilism while still delving deeply into individual freedom. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957.

    Camus did not consider himself to be an existentialist despite usually being classified as one, even in his lifetime. In a 1945 interview, Camus rejected any ideological associations: ""No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked..."".

    Camus was born in Algeria to a Pied-Noir family, and studied at the University of Algiers from which he graduated in 1936. In 1949, Camus founded the Group for International Liaisons to ""denounce two ideologies found in both the USSR and the USA"".

4.0 out of 5 stars a modern classic
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2022
I really hope they publish together in a single volume with etranger, caligula and sisyphe, just like camus originally intended them to be... and not two plays in a single volume of 200 pages with font size for seniors...

When I purchased this book for school, I was expecting it to arrive in decent conditions. However, I was INCREDIBLY mistaken. Even after attacking the book with clear duct tape, it continues to fall apart and I have severe doubts that it will last through the semester.

5.0 out of 5 stars Caligula d'Albert Camus

Je recommande à tous les amoureux de Camus... Car voici là un enregistrement très émouvant d'une oeuvre pleine de force et de tensions entre des extrêmes qui vous obligent à trouver la nuance pour résoudre l'équation, avec la plus grande simplicité.
Cette pièce subtile malmène nos nerfs et élève notre vision de l'humanité, à travers une tragédie originale, le tout par la voix et l'interprétation de son auteur (ce qui est plus émouvant encore, quand on sait qu'Albert Camus a joué Caligula lui-même pendant une représentation) !
Encore une oeuvre de Camus qui révèle un espoir pur et salvateur, caché dans le désespoir le plus profond. Magnifique...

4.0 out of 5 stars Théâtre tragique
Reviewed in France on April 13, 2015

2 pièces, 2 époques, 2 personnages phare, Caligula et Martha, qui décident de ne prendre dorénavant en compte que leurs désirs personnels au détriment de toute considération altruiste ou sentimentale. Pénétrés par un souci d'absolu et une volonté implacable, ils font couler le sang d'inconnus comme de leurs proches.
2 pièces édifiantes et déroutantes dans le sens où l'aspect affectif s'incline et ne brouille pas les actions, l'élan, le destin des personnages.
