She is the author of monographs on Proust (1968), Camus (1971), Paul Nizan (1976), and the Guinean writer Camara Laye (1980), and more recently French Women Novelists: Defining a Female Style (1989) and Camus’s L’Etranger”: Fifty Years On (1992).

Instead he went on to become one of the greatest French writers and a Nobel laureate. Camus's works keep being rediscovered and set against a contemporary backdrop. The Stranger is usually regarded as a classic, one of the few novels taught in schools and universities and found on most lists of the best modern novels. While he is often said to be a writer of allegories and moral abstractions, his fiction and philosophical essays are, as this book aims to highlight, autobiographical in their origins and incidents. As a journalist he was an early defender of the rights of Muslims, a position which led him into conflict with the Communist Party, of which he was for a time a member. Born into a poor, uneducated family in Algeria, raised by an illiterate mother and tyrannized by his grandmother, he was expected to quit school at 14 a

In fact, King's biography proves to be an insightful companion to any simultaneous reading of Camus. King's take on Camus is admirably objective. Yet she also very subtly injects her own views on Camus from time to time. For those of us who have read Todd's biography, King offers a much-needed refresher course on Camus's life and work. In 2000 Carroll & Graf published the English translation of Albert Camus: A Life, by Olivier Todd. King, quite rightly, argues that Camus's fiction in fact rises above the criticism of scholars like Conor Cruise O'Brien and Edward Said without really mentioning them; and she does this without belittling that criticism. Adele King's Albert Camus should be on the shelf of every home and college li

Excellent presentation. As I said, it contains amazing pictures but primarily of very authentic - old - mediterranean homes and mostly not something that I was looking to have in my home. But the book still gives you a great feel of the style and it does have really tasty interiors and gardens from all around the coast. This book is exellent for those that are looking to give their live style the mediterranean touch, from room decoration to architectural desing, from colors of the sea to earth tones. If you look at the names you can also feel that this is not about the little cottages of the region, but some luxurious villas and mansions of these millionaires. This is a great book for daydreamers as well as a great sourcebook of ideas if you want to add a touch of Med-Style to your home. It has great pictures (really great photography!!) with nice descriptive and often inspiring text by the author about the 22 homes of famous people like Pierre Cardin, Miguel Servera and Armani. If you are looking for a book that gives you the feeling of being somewhere else, or that inspires you to change or update your current surrondings, this is the book.. I am not claiming that I was misled in anyway, I just wanted to provide this comment for future buyers who might have been thinking the same things I was. Well, this is a beautiful book but the reason I purchased it was in hopes that it would give me some do-able Mediterranean-st
