Compact INTRODUCING guide to the nobel-prize winning intellectual

A friend of Sartre who used to hang out on the Boulevard Saint Germain, the second youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize, a journalist, French resistance fighter and human rights campaigner, Albert Camus, always refused the existentialist label with which he is usually associated.  For Camus, the word was ‘absurd’, without purpose, leading only unto death, yet all the more invigorating precisely because of this. 

Camus was an intellectual in the tradition of the great humanists, a Resistance fighter during World War II, and also a great sensualist for whom sun, sea, sex, football and theatre were the answer to life’s absurdity.
