Nuptials (Noces) is a collection of 4 lyrical essays by Albert Camus.

It is one of his earliest works, and the first dealing with the absurd and suicide.

Camus examines religious hope, rejects religions and life after death.

L'été à Alger is dedicated to Jacques Heurgon.

In it, Camus reflects on life in Algiers during the summer, with the sea and the sun, and how even those living in poverty can feel fulfilled.
