Camus at «combat».

In 1940, heexiled himself to paris. Pascal Pia helped him find a job at the paris- soir daily newspaper, but he did not stay long because it represented everything camus loathed, placing sensationalism before information and analysis. He married Francine Faure in December 1940.
They had two children, catherine and jean.
In 1941, true to his convictions-fighting all forms of totalitarianism.
Albert Camus joined the résistance and became the true soul of the clandestine "combat" newspaper between 21 Augst 1944 and 3 june 1947, he asserted himself as a chief editor and editorialist.
He managed to perform both activities of writer and journalist at the same time.
In 1942, he burst onto the the literature scene with The Stranger, on of his major works.
It tells the story of Meursault, an anti-hero of the absurd, in an indifferent- "blank writing".
Meursault murdered an arab on a beach, but he is sentenced to death not for murder but because of his indifference, having not cried at his mother’s funeral.
The Myth of Sisyphus was published the same yearand is The Stranger's philosophical counterpart.
Itis an analysis of the absurdity of the situation of man, who is condemned, like Sisyphus, to roll a boulder up to the top of a mountain every day to see it roll down again
