"Winner of the Franco-British Society Literary Prize 2015 Few figures of twentieth-century French culture carry such an air of romance and intrigue as Albert Camus. Though his life was cut short by a fatal car accident in 1960, when he was just forty-six years old, he packed those years with an incredible amount of experience and accomplishment. This new entry in the Critical Lives series offers a fresh look at Camus’ life and work, fro ..."

As the author of L'Etranger and the architect of the notion of 'the Absurd' in the 1940s, he shot to prominence in France and beyond. His work nevertheless attracted hostility as well as acclaim and he was increasingly drawn into bitt ..."

"Writing in 1927, Julien Benda described France as being afflicted by the twin scourges of narrow, class-based politics and rabid nationalism. He nevertheless identified Marcel Proust (who had died in 1922) as a writer who had refused to embrace the ideological narrowness of his age. Edward J. Hughes seeks to assess how Proust and his novel A la recherche du temps perdu might be understood in relation to issues of class and nation. A la ..."

"Proust's work may sometimes offer a picture of intellectual confidence. But not enough had previously been said about the crisis of hypersensitivity in many of Proust's characters. This 1983 book attempted to fill that gap, and as such should interest all students of Proust. In A la recherche, Proust deliberates on the separation between the troubled artist and the simple, sometimes primitive sensibility of others. It is a separation th ..."

"trained on Society, the Yogi longed for the Absolute. Koestler issued words of
warning to both: to the Soviet Commissar, he quoted Blaise Pascal – 'man is
neither angel nor brute, and his misery is that he who would act the angel acts
the brute';4 and he queried the Yogi's position, citing Gandhi's pacifism in the
face of Japanese aggression during the Second World War. In his Koestler
review, Merleau-Ponty dismissed the talk of mo ..."
