Summary

Albert Camus was born in a 'world of poverty and sunlight' in Algeria, which would infuse all of his work. This new collection brings together three volumes of Camus' most intimate autobiographical writings. The Wrong Side and the Right Side, his first book, describes his family and his early years in a working-class neighbourhood. Nuptials rejoices in the sensuality of sun, landscape and sea, while Summer ranges over the cities of Algiers and Oran, nature and identity. Lyrical and emotional, these pieces enrich our understanding of Camus and his love of life
