Research Abstract |
Starting from the knowledge of the《absurd》, Albert Camus (1913-1960) stresses the need for《rebellion》. But, he won't let the matter rest there : all his life, he goes on searching and submitting values, such as《justice》, 《innocence》, 《honour》, 《man》, etc., that keep us going through hard times. In the same time, Camus follows his dream to rewrite L'Envers et l'endroit (1937), his own root, that is to say rewriting his poor childhood. The essence of Camus' literature consists of these two directions : towards a perpetual search for new values and towards the strong wish of a return to his roots.
