Albert Camus

<p>Albert Camus (1913-1960) was an Algerian-born French author, philosopher, and journalist. He is generally considered one of the fathers of Existentialism along with Jean-Paul Sartre (though Camus is famously quoted as saying &quot;I am not an Existentialist&quot;). Camus is most well known for his books <i>The Stranger</i> and <i>The Plague</i>, which have become classic examples of Absurdist and Existential Literature. In 1957, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature.</p>
