Albert Camus Evenings
“Each generation doubtless feels called upon to reform the world. Mine knows that it will not reform it, but its task is perhaps even greater. It consists in preventing the world from destroying itself.”
Novelist, philosopher, playwright, journalist, recipient of the 1957 Nobel Prize in Literature, and one of the most widely read and respected intellectuals of the twentieth century, Algerian-born Albert Camus, had a maternal grandmother who was from Menorca.
Together with the Albert Camus Mediterranean Meetings and Awards, which are held in Menorca every spring, the CCCB aims—with this programme and by means of the words of contemporary writers who continue to underscore the relevance of his legacy—to uphold the figure of Camus as one of the humanist voices that are still helping us to look critically at the present.
