Another small (110 pages) and gentle intro to Camus, with more insight about the man. However, I do not agree with the author's declaration that "The Plague must be read as an atheist manifesto." CAN it? Certainly. MUST is just a bit too narrow for me; being the liberal apostate & heretic that I am. It was interesting to learn about the plays that Camus acted in and produced/directed. I would recommend this be checked out from your library. I did, but not so sure if I would buy it.

Now I can start those bulky bios on Albert!

Schöner, kurzer Einblick in Camus extrem interessantes Leben & Denken, aber für eine biografische Darstellung etwas „künstlerischer“ formuliert, als hätte sein müssen

Picked this up randomly at the library, an interesting little biography on Camus, but not anything special, I am sure there are tons of better biographies of him out there. This was ok for its short length.
