There is No Sun Without Shadow
Born in 1913, Albert Camus was a force of life. He grew up in a poor neighbourhood in Algiers with no father, a mute-deaf mother and a grandmother who beat him. And, since the age, of 17, he lived under the shadow of tuberculosis.
He was rich in other ways though. He had the sea and words and a searing imagination. He went on to write The Myth of Sisyphus, The Stranger and The Plague, to serve in the French Resistance in WW2 and to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957.
This book will ask not attempt to explain Camus, but rather to think alongside him.
Through a sequence of questions—urgent, simple, yet profound—it invites us to reconsider our assumptions about life, happiness, and freedom.
1. Do I search for higher meaning?
3. Can I maintain my consciousness?
5. Is my mind a prisoner of my past?
7. Do I act when others don’t?
8. What should I do when I don’t know what to do?
9. How should I live in a digital age?
I plan to self-publish this book and to release during the summer.
