An intimate Camus, still in the planning stages and then at the most mature of his experience, reveals himself without priming throughout this unprecedented correspondence spanning almost a quarter of a century with his Algerian friend Bénisti. The work brings together around fifty letters exchanged between Albert Camus and friends from Algiers: the painter Louis Bénisti, his brother Lucien, and their wives, two sisters born Serfati. Exceptional in its breadth and precociousness, this correspondence is unprecedented. At the same time as it sheds light on known traits of Camus, starting with his loyalty in friendship, it reveals much less documented aspects of his personality and his activities: his youthful hopes or doubts, his aesthetic tastes, his idea,s and his pedagogy of philosophy, his demands and scruples as a publisher. The letters and facsimiles are intertwined with reproductions of works by Louis Bénisti and documents, particularly photographic, which nourish and enrich this dialogue, both friendly and artistic.
