   Extractions: Great quotes to inspire, empower and motivate you to live the life of your dreams and become the person you've always wanted to be! T o write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art. A novel is never anything, but a philosophy put into images. C harm is a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question. M en are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely. M an is the only creature who refuses to be what he is. W e all carry within us our places of exile, our crimes, and our ravages. But our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to fight them in ourselves and in others. T he only conception of freedom I can have is that of the prisoner or the individual in the midst of the State. The only one I know is freedom of thought and action. I t is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all. W hen you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter.

3. Albert Camus - Der Fremde / L´Etranger - LESELUST-Rezension
   Rezension von Daniela Ecker in Leselust .  
   http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/camus_albert_fremde.htm
   
   Extractions: Meursault, ein junger Franzose, lebt in Algier. Er hat einen guten Job, den er ohne großen Ehrgeiz bewältigt, ein paar Freunde. Seine Mutter ist gerade gestorben, er war zum Altersheim gefahren, hatte Totenwache gehalten, sie beerdigt und war zurück nach Algier gefahren. Die Entscheidung, seine Mutter ins Altersheim zu geben, hatte ihm einen schlechten Ruf im Viertel eingetragen, aber "sowohl Mama wie ich hätten nichts mehr voneinander erwartet, noch von sonst jemand übrigens". Sein Nachbar hat Probleme mit einer Frau, sie hat ihn beleidigt, und er will sich an ihr rächen - doch ihm fehlen die Worte, den gemeinen Brief zu schreiben, den er sich vorstellt, also erledigt Meursault das für ihn, ohne sich groß Gedanken darüber zu machen. Die macht er sich auch noch nicht, als sein Nachbar diese Frau dann verprügelt und daraufhin von deren Schwester verfolgt wird. Gemeinsam mit Marie und seinem Nachbarn macht er einen Ausflug zum Meer - wo sie wieder auf die Araber treffen, die seinen Nachbarn verfolgen. Und am Ende des Tages hat alles sich geändert - "ich begriff, dass ich das Gleichgewicht des Tages, das ungewöhnliche Schweigen des Strandes zerstört hatte, an dem ich glücklich gewesen war. Dann schoss ich noch viermal auf einen leblosen Körper, in den die Kugeln eindrangen, ohne dass man es sah. Und es waren gleichsam vier kurze Schläge an das Tor des Unheils".

He received the 1957 Nobel Prize for Literature. Less than a year after Camus was born, his father, an impoverished worker of Alsatian origin, was killed in World War I during the First Battle of the Marne. His mother, of Spanish descent, worked as a charwoman to support her family. Camus and his elder brother Lucien moved with their mother to a working-class district of Algiers, where all three lived, together with the maternal grandmother and a paralyzed uncle, in a two-room apartment. Camus's first published collection of essays L'Envers et l'endroit (1937; "The Wrong Side and the Right Side"), describes the physical setting of these early years and includes portraits of his mother, grandmother, and uncle. A second collection of essays, Noces (1938; "Nuptials"), contains intensely lyrical meditations on the Algerian countryside and presents natural beauty as a form of wealth that even the very poor can enjoy. Both collections contrast the fragile mortality of human beings with the enduring nature of the physical world.

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.

8. Albert Camus, Een Biografie
   Korte biografie.  
   http://users.skynet.be/evds/jabo168.htm
   
   Extractions: ALBERT CAMUS, EEN BIOGRAFIE De biografie ‘ Albert Camus, een leven tegen de leugen ’ is in 1997 verschenen en ik heb het boek kort daarna gelezen. Het is een van mijn lievelingsboeken geworden. De Franse schrijver Albert Camus (1913-1960) behoort tot de grote schrijvers en denkers van de twintigste eeuw en mag niet vergeten worden. Deze levensbeschrijving draagt daar toe bij en is bovendien prettig leesbaar. De schrijver, Ger Verrips, slaagt er in een meeslepend levensverhaal neer te zetten. Sartre (1905-1980) aan die na het overlijden van de man met wie hij gebroken had schreef: Zijn koppige, eerlijke, zinnelijke humanisme moest het opnemen tegen de onoverzichtelijke, ingrijpende gebeurtenissen van deze tijd. Maar door zijn hardnekkig weigeren liet hij daarentegen opnieuw duidelijk merken, midden in onze tijd, tegen de machiavellisten in, tegen het gouden kalf van het realisme in, dat er zoiets als moraal bestond. Het schijnt overigens het laatste te zijn geweest dat hij over Camus heeft gezegd. Met dit boek is vast niet het laatste gezegd maar wel veel goedgemaakt. Dankzij deze biografie kunnen we Camus in het perspectief plaatsen van zijn tijd. Camus’ hartstocht weerspiegelt echter een zekere ‘tijdloosheid’ die van hem een levende Don Quichotte maakte. En dat laatste is bedoeld als een groot compliment want niet Don Quichotte was gek maar de wereld waarin hij ‘doolde’. Om iemand te citeren die met dit boek niets van doen heeft

    Extractions: I Hoy ha muerto mamá. O quizá ayer. No lo sé. Recibí un telegrama del asilo: «Falleció su madre. Entierro mañana. Sentidas condolencias.» Pero no quiere decir nada. Quizá haya sido ayer. El asilo de ancianos está en Marengo, a ochenta kilómetros de Argel. Tomaré el autobús a las dos y llegaré por la tarde. De esa manera podré velarla, y regresaré mañana por la noche. Pedí dos días de licencia a mi patrón y no pudo negármelos ante una excusa semejante. Pero no parecía satisfecho. Llegué a decirle: «No es culpa mía.» No me respondió. Pensé entonces que no debía haberle dicho esto. Al fin y al cabo, no tenía por qué excusarme. Más bien le correspondía a él presentarme las condolencias. Pero lo hará sin duda pasado mañana, cuando me vea de luto. Por ahora, es un poco como si mamá no estuviera muerta. Después del entierro, por el contrario, será un asunto archivado y todo habrá adquirido aspecto más oficial. Tomé el autobús a las dos. Hacía mucho calor. Comí en el restaurante de Celeste como de costumbre. Todos se condolieron mucho de mí, y Celeste me dijo: «Madre hay una sola.» Cuando partí, me acompañaron hasta la puerta. Me sentía un poco aturdido pues fue necesario que subiera hasta la habitación de Manuel para pedirle prestados una corbata negra y un brazal. El perdió a su tío hace unos meses.

12. Camus, Albert [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
    Albert Camus (1913—1960) Albert Camus was a FrenchAlgerian journalist, playwright, novelist, writer of philosophical essays, and Nobel laureate.  
    http://www.iep.utm.edu/camus/
    
    Extractions: Life Literary Career Camus, Philosophical Literature, and the Novel of Ideas Works ... References and Further Reading The writer Albert Camus was born on November 7, 1913, in Mondovi, a small village near the seaport city of Bonê (present-day Annaba) in the northeast region of French Algeria. He was the second child of Lucien Auguste Camus, a military veteran and wine-shipping clerk, and of Catherine Marie Cardona, a house-keeper and part-time factory worker. (Note: Although Camus himself believed that his father was Alsatian and a first-generation émigré, research by biographer Herbert Lottman indicates that the Camus family was originally from Bordeaux and that the first Camus to leave France for Algeria was actually the author’s great-grandfather, who in the early 19th century became part of the first wave of European colonial settlers in the new melting pot of North Africa.) Shortly after the outbreak of WWI, when Camus was less than a year old, his father was recalled to military service and on October 11, 1914, died of shrapnel wounds suffered at the first battle of the Marne. As a child, about the only thing Camus ever learned about his father was that he had once become violently ill after witnessing a public execution. This anecdote, which surfaces in fictional form in the author’s novel L’Etranger and which is also recounted in his philosophical essay “Reflections on the Guillotine,� strongly affected Camus and influenced his own lifelong opposition to the death penalty.
