CAMUS ALBERT: (1913-1960) - CAMUS ALBERT: (1913-1960) French Author and Philosopher. Nobel Prize winner in Literature, 1957. A very good A.L.S., ` Albert Camus ´, one page, 4to, Cabris, Alpes Maritimes, 8th July, n.y., in French. Camus is about to leave Cabris, and refers to his new destiny first and further comments on his works, stating ` Je quitte Cabris pour les Vosges ces jours-cis et je suis fâché de mes manques... Il faudra que je visite votre pays, quasiment inconnu pour moi. Aucune réponse de mon éditeur, pourtant relancé. Si les Editions ... acceptent, ce serait très bien. Dites-le moi et je récupèrerai votre manuscrit.´ (Translation: ” I'm leaving Cabris for the Vosges these days and I'm angry about my shortcomings... I'll have to visit your country, almost unknown to me. No response from my publisher, although I've contacted him again. If Editions ... accepts, that would be great. Let me know and I'll get your manuscript back.' Before concluding Camus states ` La guerre? Oui, j´en serais désespéré, mais non découragé, je crois. Nous avons maintenant la familiarité du pire. Cela aide à lutter encore.´ ((Translation: ” The war? Yes, I would be desperate, but not discouraged, I think. We are now familiar with the worst. That helps us to continue fighting .”) Two very small tears to the lower edge, not affecting the text or signature, and very small minor overall creasing, otherwise G to VG
