‘To create today is to create dangerously.' Camus argues passionately that the artist has a responsibility to challenge, provoke and speak up for those who cannot. Originally delivered as a lecture to a Swedish university in 1957, weeks after he received the Nobel Prize for Literature, the text of Camus’ powerful speech is published here alongside that of two others.
Albert Camus (1913-60) grew up in a working-class neighbourhood in Algiers. He studied philosophy at the University of Algiers, and became a journalist. His most important works include The Outsider, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Plague and The Fall. After the occupation of France by the Germans in 1941, Camus became one of the intellectual leaders of the Resistance movement. He was killed in a road accident, and his last unfinished novel, The First Man, appeared posthumously.
