ALBERT CAMUS
Albert Camus was a French philosopher, author, and journalist, known for his contributions to existentialism and absurdism, although he himself rejected the label of existentialist.

Camus received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957, recognizing his significant literary contributions and his exploration of values in a world devoid of inherent meaning. His works continue to resonate with readers and inspire philosophical discussions about existence, morality, and the human experience.
