But his journals, which he kept from 1935 to 1959, offer an intimate glimpse into his thinking at its most personal. Beautifully retranslated by Ryan Bloom and supplemented by an introduction by Alice Kaplan, Travels in the Americas presents the journals that Camus wrote during his eventful visits to the United States in 1946 and to South America in 1949. When Camus sailed to the US in 1946, he was virtually unknown to American audiences. All that was about to change-The Stranger, his first book translated into English, was about to be published, and he would soon be a literary star. By 1949, when he set out for South America, Camus was an international celebrity. Camus's journals from these two trips record his impressions, frustrations, and longings. Here are his vivid first impressions of New York City, his encounters with publishers and critics and assorted shipmates. Camus appears unguarded, his fallibility on full display. He is irritated by mediocrity and frustrated by his health. Yet he is also moved to rapture by landscapes, by women, or simply by the bounty of his own philosophical imagination. Long unavailable in English and now freshly translated and annotated, these journals let readers walk beside the existentialist thinker as he experiences the changes in his own life and in the world around him, openly describing his passions and preoccupations on the way, all in his inimitable style"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Camus, Albert, $d 1913-1960 $x Travel $z United States. 600 10 $a Camus, Albert, $d 1913-1960 $x Travel $z South America. 600 17 $a Camus, Albert, $d 1913-1960. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00036855 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 0 $a United States $x Description and travel. 651 0 $a South America $x Description and travel. 651 7 $a South America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244515 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Camus, Albert, 1913-1960. $s Journaux de voyage.
