Description and Table of Contents
Description
Semi-autobiographical, THE FIRST MAN is a sensual and emotional work, capturing the beauty of Camus' childhood Algeria. 'It is the most brilliant semi-autobiographical account of an Algerian childhood amongst the grinding poverty and stoicism of poor French Algerian colonials ... His ability to conjure landscape and atmosphere in long, long sentences of exact description without resorting to simile or metaphor is extraordinary' - J G Ballard in the Independent.
