Il manoscritto incompiuto di The First Man fu scoperto tra i rottami dell'incidente automobilistico in cui Camus morì nel 1960. Sebbene non fosse stato pubblicato per oltre trent'anni, fu un best-seller immediato quando finalmente apparve nel 1994. Il "primo uomo" è Jacques Cormery, la cui infanzia povera ad Algeri è resa sopportabile dal suo amore per la madre silenziosa e analfabeta e dall'insegnante che trasforma la sua visione del mondo. Il più autobiografico dei romanzi di Camus, offre profonde intuizioni sulla sua vita e sui temi potenti alla base del suo lavoro. Albert Camus nacque in Algeria nel 1913. Le opere che hanno stabilito la sua reputazione internazionale includono LA PESTE, LA CADUTA, IL RIBELLE e L'OUTSIDER. Camus morì in un incidente stradale nel 1960 ed è ricordato come uno dei più grandi romanzieri filosofici del ventesimo secolo.

Albert Camus (1913-60) grew up in a working-class neighbourhood in Algiers. He studied philosophy at the University of Algiers, and became a journalist. His most important works include The Outsider, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Plague and The Fall. After the occupation of France by the Germans in 1941, Camus became one of the intellectual leaders of the Resistance movement. He was killed in a road accident, and his last unfinished novel, The First Man, appeared posthumously.
