When albert camus received the Nobel Prize in 1957, he was honored for the quality of his writing and as a representative of the generation that had come of age between the two world wars. Camus did not hesitate to identify himself with this generation. He was willing to be a witness for those who had been helplessly thrust into “twenty years of absolutely insane history.” This was the generation, he said at Stockholm, that had learned to endure in an age when history was dominated by “the death instinct at work.”
