| | 1. |  | Notebooks 1951-1959
from Ivan R. Dee, Publisher
Price: $18.15
Customer Review:
College-level collections strong on Camus will find this a special acquisition presenting the notebooks withheld in France for some 29 years after his death, appearing for the first time in English. The first two volumes of his notebooks began simply but this concluding volume was written over the... more info

| | 2. |  | Albert Camus: A Life
from Da Capo Press
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
One hopes that the French edition, which is 400 hundred, not 100, pages longer, is considerably better, but I find that hard to believe. The writing is unacceptably choppy and awkward, with paragraphs springing from nowhere and sentences shifting from one grand topic to another without stopping.... more info

| | 3. |  | Albert Camus: A Biography
from Gingko Press
Price: $16.47
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

| | 4. |  | The First Man
from Knopf
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

| | 6. |  | Notebooks 1935-1942
from Marlowe & Co
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.

from Paraclete Press (MA)
Customer Review:
On the portion of this book related to Camus:
I have read everything translated into English of Camus I could find, except for Christianity and Neoplatonism, which is on my list.
I picked up the Mumma book because I saw Camus' face on the cover, and was intrigued by the idea - I had the... more info

| | 8. |  | Albert Camus in New York
from Gingko Press
Price: $4.95
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

| | 9. |  | 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.
