Albert Camus (1913-1960) Albert Camus, son of a working-class family, was born in Algeria in 1913. He spent the early years of his life in North Africa, where he worked a various jobs (in the weather bureau, in an automobile-accessory firm, in a shipping company) to help pay for his courses at the University of Algiers. He then turned to journalism as a career. His report on the unhappy state of the Muslims of the Kabylie region aroused the Algerian government to action and brought him public notice. From 1935 to 1938 he ran the Theatre de l'Equipe, a theatrical company that produced plays by Malraux, Gide, Synge, Dostoevski, and others. During World War II he was one of the leading writers of the French Resistance and editor of Combat, then an important underground newspaper. Camus was always very active in the theater, and several of his plays have been published and produced. His fiction, including The Stranger, The Plague, The Fall, and Exile and the Kingdom; his philosophical essays, The Myth of Sisyphus and the Rebel; and his plays have assured his preeminent position in modern French letters. In 1957 Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. His sudden death on January 4, 1960, cut short the career of one of the most important literary figures of the Western world when he was at the very summit of his powers.

aki ta biba un homber liber. Niun hende no ta sirbié

e aktor ta un mentiroso sinsero

e enkanto ta e arte di hasi ku nan ta bisabo sí sin ku nan a hasi ningun pregunta kla

e futuro ta e úniko tipo di propiedat ku e doñonan ta konsedé di bon grado na e katibunan

e kontrali di un pueblo sivilisá ta un pueblo kreadó

e úniko progreso real ta siña bo so ku bo ta robes

éksito ta fásil pa optené. Difísil ta pa meresé

hende ta e úniko kriatura ku ta ninga ta loke e ta

komo un remedi pa biba den sosiedat lo mi rekomendá e siudat grandi. Awendia e ta e úniko desierto na nos alkanse

libertat di prensa ta tal bes loke a sufri mas di e degradashon slo di e idea di libertat

lo bo no ta felis nunka si bo keda buska kiko felisidat ta konsistí di dje. Lo bo no biba nunka si bo sigui buska e sentido di bida

loke ta importá no ta loke nan bisa, sino loke no tin di ser bisá

nan a bisami ku algun morto tabata nesesario pa alkansá un mundu den kua nan lo no mata mas persona

no ta e lucha ku ta obligános pa ta artista, sino e arte ku ta obligános pa lucha

polítika i e destinu di humanidat ta wòrdu formá dor di hòmbernan sin ideal i grandesa. Esnan ku tin grandesa den nan no ta drenta den polítika

si e patron no por sin e katibu, kua di nan dos ta un hòmber liber?

tin solamente un problema filosófiko berdaderamente serio: e suisidio

tur revolushon modèrnu a resultá den un reforsamentu di e poder di estado

un intelektual ta un persona kende su spiritu ta kontemplá su mes
