Albert Camus: A Biography: A Biography

Albert Camus: A Biography: A Biography by Lottman, Herbert R. paperback edition. ISBN: 9783927258068.

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.
