Essential reading for old fans and new admirers of Albert Camus' classic quarantine novel THE PLAGUE - a new bestseller amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
'
Brilliant.'
The Times
'
Joyous ... A unique critical talent.'
TLS
Albert Camus is one of the most famous French writers of the twentieth century, a Nobel Laureate celebrated for his classic existentialist novel
The Outsider
and urgently relevant allegory of a pandemic,
The Plague. But what about his controversial attitudes to
race, especially his portrayal of
Arabs versus Europeans, and
French colonialism in Algeria?
As provocative and brilliantly argued as it was in 1970,
Conor Cruise O'Brien's
Camus
is a groundbreaking
postcolonial critique which revolutionised how Camus was viewed by a new generation.
