PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS PERSONAL WRITINGS - A...

'It was the discovery of the essays celebrating his childhood and youth that altered my
perception of Camus  from a thinker to a writer whose intellectual lucidity was a product of
the wealth - the sensual immediacy and clarity - that had been heaped on his senses' Geoff Dyer
Albert Camus was born in a 'world of poverty and sunshine' in Algeria  which would infuse all
of his work. This new collection brings together three volumes of Camus' most intimate
autobiographical writings for the first time. The Wrong Side and the Right Side  his first book
describes his family and his early years in a working-class neighbourhood. Nuptials rejoices in
the sensuality of sun  landscape and sea  while Summer ranges over the cities of Algiers and
Oran  nature and identity. Lyrical and emotional  these pieces enrich our understanding of
Camus and his love of life.
