Fifty years after the author’s accidental death, Bouquins is proud to present the first dictionary dedicated entirely to Albert Camus and his works.


Albert Camus (1913-1960), novelist, playwright, journalist, and essayist, was the youngest French laureate of the Nobel Prize in Literature. None of his peers from the 20th century ever reached the universal readership that he did. His editorials for Combat, the clandestine French Resistance newspaper, made him a brilliant spokesperson. At the same time L’Etranger and Caligula give him the air of being a modern thinker.

In this dictionary, every one of Camus’s works whether a novel, short story, play, essay collection or major article has an entry. Camus’s principal themes are discussed as well as the notions that underlie the author’s thoughts and those of his main characters.

Additional entries include those for the intellects with whom he conversed, his friends in Algiers, the major newspapers and magazines to which he contributed…

The annex includes a biographical timeline and an international bibliography of his works.
