About the Book Sartre met Albert Camus in Occupied France in 1943—an odd pair: onefrom the upper reaches of French society; the other, a pied-noir borninto poverty in Algeria. The love of ‘freedom’ brought them togetherquickly as closest of friends, and their fight for justice united thempolitically. But in 1951 the two writers fell out spectacularly over theirliterary and political views, their split a media sensation in France. Thisvolume is a remarkable mirror to that fraught relationship as it includesan early review by Sartre of Camus’s The Outsider; his famous 1952 letterto Camus that begins, ‘Our friendship was not easy, but I shall miss it’;and a moving homage written following Camus’s sudden death in 1960. About the Author Iconic French novelist, playwright and essayist, Jean-Paul Sartre</b> (1905–1980) is widely recognized as one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, whose work has remained relevant and thought-provoking through the decades. The Seagull Sartre Library now presents some of his most incisive philosophical, cultural, and literary critical essays in twelve newly designed and affordable volumes.
