About this listen

"En somme, je vais parler de ceux que j'aimais ", écrit Albert Camus dans une note pour Le premier homme. Le projet de ce roman auquel il travaillait au moment de sa mort était ambitieux. Il avait dit un jour que les écrivains "gardent l'espoir de retrouver les secrets d'un art universel qui, à force d'humilité et de maîtrise, ressusciterait enfin les personnages dans leur chair et dans leur durée ".

Il avait jeté les bases de ce qui serait le récit de l'enfance de son "premier homme ". Cette rédaction initiale a un caractère autobiographique qui aurait sûrement disparu dans la version définitive du roman. Mais c'est justement ce côté autobiographique qui est précieux aujourd'hui. Après avoir lu ces pages, on voit apparaître les racines de ce qui fera la personnalité de Camus, sa sensibilité, la genèse de sa pensée, les raisons de son engagement. Pourquoi, toute sa vie, il aura voulu parler au nom de ceux à qui la parole est refusée.

Like traveling to and from the past

Like traveling to and from the past, and realizing the more things change, the more we remain the same. We go with the flow of things, and seldomly interfere. And yet look back with a certain measure of regret. The book has an air of nostalgia, that I feel very connected to. The protagonists reflects the silhouette of the everyday person, passing through time slowly, un decisively and seldomly still long enough to savor a moment of it. A life lived, but to accomplish what end?

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
