Camus, Albert Annotated Bibliography & Selected Collectible Books



Demand for the existential, Nobel Prize winning French author may have dropped recently, but that simply means that now is a great time to research and buy the works of Albert Camus. Popularity for the writer increased steadily after his death in the 1960's but, for reasons that many experts can't agree on, his popularity has declined mildly in the 21st Century.

In keeping with the style and ideas of Camus, there are no flashy, gold bound collectors editions or limited editions of his novels. Collectors and avid fans of Camus will have to settle for first edition copies of his novels likes The Stranger or The Plague originally published in the 1940's

London based book sellers Peter Harrington reduced his prices on many of Camus' titles in his collection. Extremely rare first edition copies of The Strangers first published in Algeria, can go for upwards of $15000. But if you want to get your hands on a first edition but can't or won't pay such high prices, then more recent, hardback first editions of his novels can easily be found.
