| | 1. |  | Camus, a Romance
from Grove Press
Price: $12.50
Customer Review:
A wonderful book, but don't buy the Kindle edition. The publisher did not do its work properly for the digital edition and failed to sync the footnotes to the main text. You can't read them easily until you've finished the entire book! So frustrating--almost want my money back! There is important... more info

| | 2. |  | The First Man
from Knopf
Price: $4.99
Customer Review:
I just finished this book, and can only voice my disappointment. Not that it was a bad book,It was great, but that It wasn't finished. I have read The Stranger, The plague, The myth of sysyphus, and the fall. This book really helped to understand Camus more. You can see how his life overflowed into... more info

| | 3. |  | Notebooks 1951-1959
from Ivan R. Dee, Publisher
Price: $16.04
Customer Review:
This book will be most useful to those who may want insight into Camus's thoughts in process of working up to the writing of various pieces. There are extensive notes--as is explained in The Afterword--written for his posthumously produced work, The First Man.
Many--perhaps as much as... more info

| | 4. |  | Albert Camus: A Life
from Da Capo Press
Price: $8.95
Customer Review:
Camus is not the easiest of writers to categorize. Both philosopher and literary figure, his world is fraught with too many pitfalls for the casual glance. On top of everything else, his early personal life was very hard, his father a fatality in the First World War when Camus was one, his mother... more info

| | 5. |  | Albert Camus: A Biography
from Gingko Press
Price: $16.55
Customer Review:
A long time ago, I started trying to think somewhat seriously about whether life without God had any meaning. A friend pointed me to Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus. So I read it - twice actually. And I went on to read The Stranger, The Plague and even The Rebel. I found in those books some powerful... more info

| | 6. |  | Notebooks 1935-1951
from Marlowe & Company
Customer Review:
The notebooks are valuable as the record of a life, and also as a kind of preliminary sketchbook to the works. Here one can see Camus groping toward the chrystallization of his most significant works. The aphoristic and descriptive beauty of some of the passages also add to the value of the work.

| | 7. |  | Notebooks 1935-1942
from Marlowe & Co
Price: $89.85
Customer Review:
Most of the kernels in Camus's notebooks could be the seeds for short stories or even novels. He was brilliant and far less sombre in these notes than in the great novels and essays. For those who think Camus merely a son of Kafka, these errant thoughts provide showers of sparks for the mind.

| | 9. |  | Youthful Writings
from Marlowe & Company
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
A long time student of Camus' works, I thought I knew everything there was to know about this man. However, this book along with "Albert Camus and the Minister" have left me with a fresh perspective on Camus. Not to say that it destroys the image of the man that other works personify, but it does... more info

| | 10. |  | Albert Camus in New York
from Gingko Press
Price: $2.13
Customer Review:
The description informs the buyer that the book is 60 pages, but not that it's 60 small pages with super big type. Plus the editing is horrible -- riddled with typos.
It does however deliver a side to Camus not often seen -- the young author, somewhat scared and certainly lonely -- but still... more info
