In this vibrant, engaging biography of Albert Camus, the internationally acclaimed author of The Stranger, The Plague, and The Fall, French writer and journalist Olivier Todd has richly tapped resources never before availablepersonal correspondence, notebooks, public records, as well as exclusive interviews with Camus's family, friends, fellow workers, mentors, and lovers. What emerges is the study of a man caught in conflicts between family loyalties and his own passionate nature, between the call to political action and devotion to his art, between his support of the native Algerians and his identification with the forgotten poor whites. Exploring Camus's impoverished childhood in the Algerian city of Belcourt, his underground activities during the Occupation in Paris, the intrigues of the French literati who embraced him after the publication of his first novel, L'Etranger, Todd uncovers the solitary private man behind the mask of his celebrity. He shows us a writer isolated by his own success, crippled by the charms of women he could not resist, debilitated by the tuberculosis that did not kill him. The auto accident that did adds only to the ironies in the life of this international giant of twentieth-century literature."Binding Type: Paperback

Replaced wedding band after 43 years
Gem Type: No Gemstone, Ring Size: 10
I am thrilled with this ring. After 43 years, due to arthritis and aging my knuckles were too swollen for my original band. This is a very pretty, sturdy, detailed ring. I have received many compliments and I am well pleased with the quality. It was also on time, well packaged and a notice was sent of it's arrival. Very nice. Highly recommend.

Not a ring you want to do hard dirty work in. Worth taking care of
Gem Type: No Gemstone, Ring Size: 8
I had mixed feelings when I got it. It is very lite weight. Next to my other gold jewelry it looked like a different color. It is 18k tho and my others are 14k.$300. To me ain't cheap. I have wanted this ring for along time. I started to send it back. Hubby talked me into keeping it. I got a size 8 so I could wear it on my thumb or middle finger. I have arthritis in my hands so rings fitting is a challenge. Some days I can wear them, others I can't. This ring is beautiful and being lite weight is a plus when your fingers hurt. So glad I kept it.
