A biography in text and pictures of the highly influential, iconic�writer,�from�his daughter
�
"My children and grandchildren never got to know him. I wanted to go through all the photos for their sake. To rediscover his laugh, his lack of pretension, his generosity, to meet this highly observant, warm-hearted person once more, the man who steered me along the path of life. To show, as S�verine Gaspari once wrote, that Albert Camus was in essence a 'person among people, who in the midst of them all, strove to become genuine.'"� —Catherine Camus�Using selected texts, photographs, and previously unpublished documents, Catherine Camus skillfully and easily takes�readers through the fascinating life and work of her father, Albert Camus,�who, in his defense of the individual, also saw himself as the voice of the downtrodden. The winner of the Nobel prize for literature, Albert Camus died suddenly and tragically in 1960. He was only 46. There are rumors to this day that the Russian KGB was behind the car crash.�Writer, journalist, philosopher, playwright, and producer, he was a shining defender of freedom, whose art and person were dedicated to serving the dignity in humanity. In his tireless struggle against all forms of repression, he was a ceaseless critic of humanity's hubris; the same struggle can still be felt today.

Review
"Humanity's friend, humanity's critic: 50 years after his death, Albert Camus's work is more relevant than ever."� —Tagesspiegel, Berlin
"Above all, what you can learn from Camus is attitude: his putting up with depressing times, his resistance to exploitation, destruction and hatred over a long time. This attitude is much more important today, bearing in mind the catastrophic state of many areas such as the economy, the arms industry and the environemnt, than it was in Camus' time. . . . Camus could be helpful in times when what matters is not to give up, despite a future that seems hopeless; not to resign, but to continue to resist."� —G�nter Grass, Nobel Prize-winning author
"The morning after a great historical crisis, you feel as sad and sick as after a heavy night. But there is no aspirin for historical hangovers."� —Albert Camus
"This fascinating and lavishly illustrated album of Camus' photographs, manuscripts, letters, and documents (some of them unpublished), edited by his daughter and literary executor, will prove precious to his readers."—Booklist
"[A] handsome coffee-table book"� —Library Journal
"A remarkable effort at recapturing—or, for many readers, simply capturing for the first time—a man whose life and work matter as greatly today as they did in his own era."� —Los Angeles Review�of Books�
�"A riveting tome"� —Our Man in Boston blog

Excellent Coffee Table Collection of Camus Memorabilia
By NRL
This is a coffee table book, but an interesting and valuable one for fans of Albert Camus. It contains many valuable photos and reproductions of documents. Compiled by Camus' daughter Catherine, the book has an obvious "authenticity." There's not a great dea of critical interpretation, but this is a valuable and enjoyable book for those who consider Camus one of the twentieth-century's most important philosophical voices.

An impressive collection of photographs, letters, and ephemera from the life of Albert Camus
By R. M. Peterson
Albert Camus and George Orwell are curiously paired. Of prominent twentieth-century literary figures, they are perhaps the two most known for political conscience and intellectual integrity. Their lives were only a decade off from being coterminous (Orwell, 1903-1950; Camus, 1913-1960). Both died at the age of forty-six. Both had tuberculosis. Orwell died from the disease, whereas Camus died in an automobile accident. Each is worth knowing -- his life, his writing, and his thought.
With regard to Camus, the book at hand, ALBERT CAMUS: SOLIDARITY & SOLITUDE, should NOT be the vehicle by which one is introduced to his life, writing, and thought. On the other hand, for those already knowledgeable about the man, especially those who already respect him, the book should certainly enhance that knowledge and respect.
A large-format book (worthy of a coffee table), it contains all sorts of photographs, letters, quotes, and ephemera relating to Albert Camus. It begins with a photo of the farm in Algeria where he was born, a copy of his birth certificate, and a picture of Albert, not yet one year old, when his father went off to fight in the Great War (he was killed within a month). One of the last photographs is the car, wrapped around a tree, in which Camus and his good friend Michel Gallimard were killed; the very last photograph is a wonderful one of Camus in a sunny caf� with his arm draped around the shoulder of Gallimard. In between, there are photographs of Camus in his native Algeria, at "Combat", with his wife Francine and his children Catherine and Jean, in the theater in connection with the numerous plays he wrote and/or directed, in Stockholm receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature, etc. There also are photographs of friends and a few historical ones that help set context. In addition, there are numerous copies of original documents, from letters to and from Camus to newspaper articles to book jacket covers to even an Algerian lottery ticket bought by Camus and his wife. And on most pages there are one or more excerpts from the writings of Camus that relate in some manner to the images; most of these excerpts are from his Notebooks or diaries or lesser-known writings, as opposed to the works for which he is best known.
The book is somewhat cluttered, perhaps inevitably given its scrapbook-like nature. Even so, some sort of overarching expository narrative about Camus would have been possible and helpful. As it is, the photographs, excerpts, and quotes pop up rather haphazardly, albeit (roughly) chronologically.
Nonetheless, there are many gems amidst the hodgepodge. Among the photographs, for example, is one from 1944 of a group of twelve people assembled in Pablo Picasso's studio for a reading of a play written by Picasso and directed by Camus, including Picasso, Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Simone de Beauvoir. Notable among the quoted excerpts is this one relating to "The Stranger" from a letter Camus wrote in 1954: "['The Stranger'] is neither realism nor fantasy. I see it rather as a myth in the form of a person, but deeply rooted in the physicality and intensity of everyday life. People have tried to see in it a new kind of anti-morality, which is utterly wrong." I also was struck by the following: "Faced with the world as it is, I simply do not want to lie or be lied to."
As an account of Camus's life, however, there are gaps and there are distortions. One example revolves around Camus's inveterate womanizing, which is barely hinted at. There are many photographs of Camus and the Spanish actress Maria Casar�s, but no mention of the fact that they maintained a sixteen-year affair. There is a quote from another actress, Catherine Sellers -- "He was not a seducer, he was a seductive man, which is not the same thing at all" -- that elides the fact that she appeared in his bed as well as in his plays. One photograph of Camus and his attractive wife Francine bears the caption "Francine and Albert supported and stood by each other throughout their lives" -- a tad disingenuous given that Francine was so unhinged by Camus's repeated infidelities that she twice attempted suicide. Of course, the person most responsible for ALBERT CAMUS: SOLITUDE & SOLIDARITY is Catherine Camus, daughter of Albert and Francine, and it is understandable that she would gloss over her parents' troubles. But even beyond that, the book carries with it a whiff of hagiography.

Universal existentialist
By Hande Z
'In the midst of winter, I felt within me an invincible summer' Albert Camus, the existentialist declared. This French existentialist writer left behind an outstanding collection of books and essays, published and (at the time of his death at the age of 46 in 1950), unpublished. 'Albert Camus: Solitude & Solidarity' is a pictorial biography by Catherine Camus, his daughter from his marriage to Francine. It is a book of extreme elegance, and evokes nostalgia for Camus fans because it contains so many photographs of Camus in all his activities, writing, contemplation, and play. It also contains photographs of letters and notes handwritten as well as typewritten by Camus. Every photograph is described in detail by Catherine Camus. Does Camus inspire? 'No one can really die in peace if he has not done all he can to help others live', he wrote. Yet we don't carry this into action often enough, thus illuminating Camus' pessimistic outlook. Even before the middle of the twentieth century he observed that '[I]t is no longer enough being just and generous that makes us. It is being successful.' Unfortunately, too many people take that as an exhortation and fail to see it as a lamentation.
