About the author
(1913–1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist associated with the philosophy of absurdism. He explored the human search for meaning in an indifferent universe through works such as "The Stranger" and "The Myth of Sisyphus." Camus believed that while life may lack inherent meaning, individuals can find purpose through personal freedom and rebellion against absurdity. His writing combines philosophical depth with literary elegance, making complex ideas accessible and impactful. In 1957, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his significant contribution to modern thought. Camus’s work continues to influence discussions on existentialism, ethics, and the human condition.
