The First Man
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The First Man (French title: Le Premier homme) is Albert Camus' unfinished final novel.
On January 4, 1960, at the age of forty-seven, Camus was killed in a car accident outside Paris. The incomplete manuscript of The First Man, the autobiographical novel Camus was working on at the time of his death, was found in the mud at the accident site and published by his daughter in 1995. Camus hoped that it would be his masterpiece and some critics argue that it is, even in its unfinished state.
