Albert Camus: A Biography: A Biography

Lottmans Albert Camus was the first and remains the definitive biography -- even in France. John Leonard New York Times: "What emerges from Mr. Lottmans tireless devotions is a portrait of the artist the outsider the humanist and skeptic that breaks the heart." John Sturrock The New York Times Book Review: Herbert Lottmans life (of Camus) is the first to be written either in French or English and it is exhaustive a labor of love and of wonderful industry." This new edition includes a specially written preface by the author revealing the challenges of a biographer of some of the problems that had to be dealt with while writing the book and after it appeared.
