Product:
The First Man is an autobiographical novel written by French-Algerian author Albert Camus, who passed away in 1960 at the age of 46 before finishing the novel. The book's back cover synopsis reads as follows:
"For Jacques Cormery, a journey to his native Algiers brings a wave of memories that forces him to confront his past. He recalls his poverty-stricken, fatherless childhood, running wild with other soccer mad boys under the hot African sun. And he remembers the inspiring teacher who gave him a love for learning that took him out of one life and introduced him to another filled with books. Now a grown man living in France, Jacques must ask himself: where does he belong. Which side of the Mediterranean should he call home?
Discovered unfinished after Camus's death, The First Man is his most autobiographical novel - a rich evocation of place that gives profound insights into his life and work."
