Extractions: Albert Camus Albert Camus was born in Mondovi, Algeria on November 7, 1913. He would learn early the sometimes senseless nature of life. Within a year of Camus' birth, his father, an impoverished agricultural worker of Alsatian origin, was killed in Europe fighting at the first battle of the Marne. His mother moved the family to the Belcourt district of Algiers where they lived with her mother who had also been widowed. In primary school, Camus was fortunate enough to cross paths with a teacher, Louis Germain, who recognized the young boy's intellectual potential and encouraged him in his studies. By the time Camus received his in 1930, he was reading the likes of Gide, Montherlant and Malraux. After taking a short break necessitated by a bout with tuberculosis, Camus continued his education at the University of Algiers. During this period, he supported himself by a wide variety of jobs which included giving private lessons, working for the Meteorological Institute, and selling spare parts for cars. It was also during this period that he, along with a number of other young left-wing intellectuals, founded the Théâtre du Travail in Algiers. Camus' first experience as a playwright came when this group created a "collective play" entitled After earning a degree in philosophy, Camus relocated to Metropolitan France and took up journalism. In 1938, he accepted a post with the left-wing newspaper

The Absurd Hero
Summary of The Myth of Sisyphus by albert camus.
http://www.levity.com/corduroy/camusabs.htm

Extractions: I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy. (p.91). Sisyphus' life and torment are transformed into a victory by concentrating on his freedom, his refusal to hope, and his knowledge of the absurdity of his situation. In the same way, Dr. Rieux is an absurd hero in The Plague , for he too is under sentence of death, is trapped by a seemingly unending torment and, like Sisyphus, he continues to perform his duty no matter how useless or how insignificant his action. In both cases it matters little for what reason they continue to struggle so long as they testify to man's allegiance to man and not to abstractions or 'absolutes'. The ideas behind the development of the absurd hero are present in the first three essays of the book. In these essays Camus faces the problem of suicide. In his typically shocking, unnerving manner he opens with the bold assertion that:

Extractions: Qui est-il ? Avant d'entrer dans le vaste mais très passionnant sujet de l'astronomie, domaine, qui comme vous l'avez sans doute déjà deviné, est devenu pour nous une véritable passion, nous avons pensé qu'il serait intéressant de vous présenter ce que nous appelons, si bien mystérieusement, le GALAC... Fondé en 1982 comme club du foyer Socio-Educatif et constitué depuis 1986 en association indépendante, le Groupe Astronomie du Lycée Albert Camus (GALAC) regroupe tous ceux, élèves, anciens élèves et professeurs qui veulent savoir ce qui se passe au-dessus de leur tête. Cours réguliers d'initiation, conférences pour le grand public et soirées d'observations telles sont les activités de base du groupe, groupe où les nouveaux adhérents lycéens retrouvent des étudiants, des parents, des amis venus d'horizons divers, tous unis par une même passion : la découverte de nouvelles frontières. Au chapitre des réalisations d'envergure, il faut citer la construction de plusieurs gros télescopes de 250, 300 et même 400 mm de diamètre, dont un pour l'observatoire de Chabotte, dans la Drôme, au Centre de Découverte de la ville de Rillieux-la-pape (commune de la banlieue lyonnaise), observatoire géré par le GALAC et utilisé par les classes transplantées de la ville. Le GALAC, par ailleurs, a été à l'initiative de six missions d'observation sur des terres lointaines : HALLEY 86 et CIEL AUSTRAL 88 à l'île de la Réunion, NANAHUATZIN 91 au Mexique, INTI 94 dans les Andes, KARUKERA 98 en Guadeloupe et ECLIPSEA 99 en Alsace pour des éclipses totales de soleil.

http://www.nobel.se/literature/laureates/1957/camus-bio.html

Extractions: Albert Camus (1913-1960) was a representative of non-metropolitan French literature. His origin in Algeria and his experiences there in the thirties were dominating influences in his thought and work. Of semi-proletarian parents, early attached to intellectual circles of strongly revolutionary tendencies, with a deep interest in philosophy (only chance prevented him from pursuing a university career in that field), he came to France at the age of twenty-five. The man and the times met: Camus joined the resistance movement during the occupation and after the liberation was a columnist for the newspaper Combat. But his journalistic activities had been chiefly a response to the demands of the time; in 1947 Camus retired from political journalism and, besides writing his fiction and essays, was very active in the theatre as producer and playwright ( e.g., Caligula , 1944). He also adapted plays by Calderon, Lope de Vega, Dino Buzzati, and Faulkner's Requiem for a Nun. His love for the theatre may be traced back to his membership in L'Equipe, an Algerian theatre group, whose "collective creation" (1934) was banned for political reasons.
