This new collection brings together three volumes of Camus' most intimate autobiographical writings for the first time. \u003ci\u003eThe Wrong Side and the Right Side\u003c\/i\u003e, his first book, describes his family and his early years in a working-class neighbourhood. \u003ci\u003eNuptials\u003c\/i\u003e rejoices in the sensuality of sun, landscape and sea, while \u003ci\u003eSummer\u003c\/i\u003e ranges over the cities of Algiers and Oran, nature and identity. Lyrical and emotional, these pieces enrich our understanding of Camus and his love of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAlbert Camus (1913-60) grew up in a working-class neighbourhood in Algiers.
