'Le Premier Homme,' le roman inacheve d'Albert Camus
Article Abstract:
Albert Camus never finished the autobiographical novel 'Le Premier Homme.'Camus goes in search of the father who was killed during the First World War and whom he never knew. The main character, Jacques Cormery, is in many ways Camus. His two worlds, that of the lyceum and the personal world of the family, are totally separate from each other. Cormery does not succeed in finding his father but tries during the course of the book to find himself. The object of the search is the search itself. The text of the article is in French.
