	Albert Camus - Wikipedia
		Camus bestand und pendelte hinfort zwischen der ärmlichen Welt von Belcourt und dem bürgerlichen Milieu der Schule, wo er seine Herkunft vor den Klassenkameraden versteckte und sich seiner Mutter schämte, die nicht nur Analphabetin, sondern auch leicht hör- und sprechbehindert war.
		Albert Camus zählte sich selbst nicht zu den Vertretern des Existenzialismus.
		Dies erscheint gerechtfertigt, da insbesondere Camus Sicht der "Revolte" von der existentialistischen Philosophie abweicht, was schließlich auch zum Bruch mit Sartre führte.

	Albert Camus
		Camus was a French philosophical novelist and essayist who was also a prose poet and the conscience of his times.
		He was born and raised in Algeria, and his experiences as a fatherless, tubercular youth, as a young playwright and journalist in Algiers, and later in the anti-German resistance in Paris during World War II informed everything he wrote.
		In his last work, however, a novel called The Fall published in 1956, the year before he won the Nobel prize for literature, Camus presents an unforgettably perverse character named Jean-Baptiste Clamence, who exemplifies all the bitterness and despair rejected by his previous characters and in his earlier essays.
