Create Dangerously
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.

Writing for Dark Times
A Literary History of Human Rights“The book I have been waiting for. Combining deep archival research with an extraordinary literary historical range, Bakara returns the study of human rights and writing to the question posed by Orwell in his dark times: ‘Why do I write?’ The result is both an urgent and deeply scholarly study that will reset debate in the field. Necessary, thoughtful, and most definitely a book for our times.”
