The First Man offers an incredibly moving account of Camus' poverty-stricken childhood in Algeria, the love of his silent mother, and the remarkable figure of an old schoolteacher who saved him from ignorance.
Camus was working on a manuscript version of the book when he was killed in a car acident with his publisher Michel Gallimard.
The First Man was first published in 1995 to international acclaim.
