Who was he and what did he do?


"Don't walk in front of me, I might not follow: don't walk behind me I might not lead; walk beside me, and just be my friend." Albert Camus


Albert Camus had an intresting life he inspired me to go after my dreams. He was born in Mondovi Algeria he recieved the nobel prize for lituratue in 1957.He first went after his dreams when he first found out he had a talent for writting whick i think is a great and knowledgeable talent. Albert Camus came from a spanish origin and his mother was part deaf due to a stroke. He went to college at the university of algers in philosophy. He then became a leading writer.

He was also involved in theater.He moved to france and was married and then divorced to a wife that was addicted to morphine.He wrote both stories and quotes.By the time he was done writting he had three novels. He was moble until he got TB at this point he had to end his sports career. Which I know from what i read he loved. He got remarried and his new wife played piano and was a mathmatician.

He later founded the frence newspaperhowever he later quit. Albert camus dreamed of running a theater someday and when that day came he died in a car accident at age 46 the manuscript was found in the car when the emergency workers arrived.
