41. The Minotaur Brief essay. http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~pwillen1/lit/minot.htm

The Minotaur or, The Stop in Oran There are no more deserts. There are no more islands. Yet there is a need for them. In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion; in order to serve men better, one has to hold them at a distance for a time. But where can one find the solitude necessary to vigor, the deep breath in which the mind collects itself and courage gauges its strength? There remain big cities. Simply, certain conditions are required. The cities Europe offers us are too full of the din of the past. A practiced ear can make out the flapping of wings, a fluttering of souls. The giddy whirls of centuries, of revolutions, of fame can be felt there. There one cannot forget that the Occident was forged in a series of uproars. All that does not make for enough silence. Paris is often a desert for the heart, but at certain moments from the heights of Pere-Lachaise there blows a revolutionary wind that suddenly fills the desert with flags and fallen glories. So it is with certain Spanish towns, with Florence or with Prague. Salzburg would be peaceful without Mozart. But from time to time there rings out over the Salzach the great proud cry of Don Juan as he plunges toward hell. Vienna seems more silent; she is a youngster among cities. Her stones are no older than three centuries and their youth is ignorant of melancholy. But Vienna stands at a cross-roads of history. Around her echoes the clash of empires. Certain evenings when the sky is suffused with blood, the stone horses on the Ring monuments seem to take wing. In that fleeting moment when everything is reminiscent of power and history, can be distinctly heard, under the charge of the Polish squadrons, the crashing fall of the Ottoman Empire. That does not make for enough silence either.

He is best known for the existential themes in his writings, particularly the absurdity of existence in a brutal and apparently meaningless world. In novels and plays as well as philosophical works, he portrayed the struggle to find meaning in human life despite circumstances of despair and meaninglessness that defeated all rational systems of meaning. He was particularly skeptical of social and political ideologies Though Camus’ work is often associated with that of another important French philosopher

Born in 1913, Albert Camus was orphaned by the century's original catastrophe when his father was killed during the early weeks of World War I. He and his brother received stipends that enabled them to stay in school beyond the primary grades, and Camus was admitted to a competitive lycee in Algiers, where he majored in philosophy. There he joined the Communist Party and supported civil rights for the "indigenes," who represented nine-tenths of the Algerian population. But Camus could not equate civil rights with independence. He sought, against political passions that rose throughout his adult life, a confederal

The incomplete manuscript of The First Man , the autobiographical novel that Camus was working on at his death, was found in the mud at the accident site and published by his daughter in 1995. Camus hoped that it would be his masterpiece and some critics think it is, even unfinished. Albert Camus, The Outsider Camus' first and most famous novel L'Etranger , translated as The Stranger , or The Outsider , was published on May 19th, 1942, the same year as the movie Casablanca was released. Camus, like Rick, helped with the Resistance movement, and many photographs show him looking like Humphrey Bogart; his book became a cult-classic too, and the best-selling French novel of the 20th century.

60. Albert Camus - Die Pest / La Peste - LESELUST-Rezension Rezension von Daniela Ecker in Leselust . http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/camus001.htm

Albert Camus - Die Pest Originaltitel: La Peste Roman. Rowohlt Verlag 1970 350 Seiten, ISBN: 349922500X Eines Tages tauchen die Ratten auf in Oran, einer beliebigen, nichtssagenden Stadt an der algerischen Küste. Erst wird dieses Phänomen nicht ernst genommen. Doch täglich kommen mehr dieser großen Nager an die Oberfläche - einzig, um hier zu sterben. Die Stadt kommt kaum noch nach, sie alle wegzuschaffen, zu verbrennen. Doch dies ist nur das erste Anzeichen; plötzlich erkranken Menschen an hohem Fieber, begleitet von schmerzhaften Beulen - und sterben innerhalb kurzer Zeit. Die Pest, tot geglaubt, hat in Oran Einzug gehalten. Als feststeht, dass es sich tatsächlich um diese höchst ansteckende Seuche handelt, wird die Stadt von der Außenwelt abgeriegelt, Wachposten sorgen dafür, dass niemand die Krankheit in die restliche Welt trägt. Der Arzt Rieux, dessen Frau kurz zuvor zur Auskurierung ihrer Lungenkrankheit weggefahren war, kümmert sich aufopfernd um die Kranken. Als einer der ersten hatte er den Ernst der Lage erkannt und für die Ausrufung des Notstands plädiert. Andere hingegen stellen all ihr Streben nur danach, aus der Stadt hinauszugelangen. Rambert, der eigentlich nur zufällig zu diesem Zeitpunkt in Oran war, empfindet sich als nicht zugehörig; zumindest ihm, so ist er der Meinung, sollte die Ausnahmegenehmigung erteilt werden, nach Paris zurückzukehren.
