A child of Algeria
In 1924, Albert Camus went to Algers’main high school, which was located in Bab-el-Oued, at the other end of the town.
When going three by tram, the child marveled at the sight of Algiers bay.
It was the beginning of a love story that greatly influenced the future writer.

1931 was an important year. When preparing for the entrance exam to the Ecole Normale Supérieure d’Alger, the teenager met the philosopher,
Jean Grenier, who had a strong influence on him. Albert Camus first essays were published in the Sud magazine.
In 1935, he joined the Communist Party, which he left two years later. After completing a bachelor’s degree in philosophy, it was discovered that he had tuberculosis.
He had to give up the idea of becoming a teacher.

At an early age, he was struck by the inequalities between Europeans and “natives” – the Muslims. He considered that intifascism, anti-imperialism and colonisialism were one.
As he could not become a teacher, Albert Camus had to find other means of support.
He met Pascal Pia, who was starting a new daily newspaper, the “Alger Republicain”.
Thus, Camus started as a journalist in 1938.
