AMERICAN JOURNALS. Translation by Hugh Levick
(New York: Paragon House Publishers, 1987).
FIRST EDITION, FIRST ENGLISH TRANSLATION, FROM CAMUS' PERSONAL NOTEBOOKS DATED 1935 UNTIL HIS DEATH 25 YEARS LATER. "Especially revealing and rewarding are these American Journals, which chronicle his travels in North and South America between 1946 and 1949, when he was at the pinnacle of success. In them he observes new places and people, formulates ideas for future work (The Plague), and reveals his dreams, fears, and desires - all relating to his intense struggle to find an ethic in this dark decade of human history." - Paragon.
