Albert Camus Evenings

“Each generation believes it is its duty to remake the world. My generation knows that it will not remake the world. But its task is perhaps greater. It is to prevent the world from falling apart.”

Novelist, philosopher, dramaturge and journalist, and Nobel Laureate for Literature in 1957, Albert Camus is still one of the most read and respected intellectual figures of the twentieth century.

With this programme, jointly organised with the Trobades i Premis Mediterranis Albert Camus (Albert Camus Mediterranean Awards and Meetings), held each spring in Menorca, and the French Institute of Barcelona, we aim to commemorate this Algerian-born French writer with a Menorcan grandmother, a humanist whose work keeps helping us to look critically at our present.
