Notebooks 1951–1959 is the third volume of Albert Camus' notes.
This book shed light on Camus' thought related to his continual rivalry with Jean-Paul Sartre and a large part of the left, after his book The Rebel (L’Homme révolté) was published.
Camus' despair is evident: "I await with patience a catastrophe that is slow in coming".
Strange feeling of overwhelming pressure and melancholy.
At 20 years old, poor and naked, I knew true glory.
