‘El malentès’ by Camus

Albert Camus (Algeria , 1913 - France, 1960 ) was the first libertarian thinker and rebel who fought against all ideologies and abstractions that take man away from the human. From Christianity and Marxism to existentialism, although he is often associated with this movement. He defined it as the philosophy of the absurd according to which existence has no meaning and there is no destination marked, so that human beings have the right to freedom and choose our way.
