More About This Title ALBERT CAMUS, JOURNALIST REPORTER IN ALGIERS, EDITORIALIST IN PARIS
- English
English
Albert Camus practiced a committed journalism that condemned the injustices experienced by the most disadvantaged and downtrodden.<
The Work
This book allows us to put the importance of Albert Camus’ journalistic work in context, from his first professional steps as a reporter in Algiers until his memorable editorials, published in the columns of Combat during the Second World War, not forgetting his chronicles at L’Express. From the outset, Albert Camus practiced a committed journalism that condemned the injustices experienced by the most disadvantaged and downtrodden. His journalistic life is marked by the correspondence between his work and his existence, a legacy of his relationship with the world, rooted in his childhood, and a duty to bear witness.
Key Sales Points
- In the current context of mistrust of the media, rethinking and drawing inspiration from Albert Camus, journalist seems more than necessary.
- No previous book has gathered and analyzed the whole of the famous author’s journalistic writing, a body of work in which his talent, social conscience and moral commitment are already obvious.
