书籍简介

就这样年复一年，在黑暗里缓缓行走在这一块被遗忘的土地上，而在这上头，每个人都成了第一人！至于他自己只能在没有父亲的庇护下自行成长。

雅克·科梅里，在北非阿尔及利亚贫民窟成长的男孩，自幼即丧父。长大成年之后，他重返生地，试图探寻已逝父亲的足迹。当他再度触及童年所生长的地方，过往的一切，像一幕幕挥之不去的影像，像一股无法抹灭的味道，不断地向他袭来。

《第一个人》无疑是加缪已本身的故事写出的自传体小说，全书未见润饰、修改，处处露出破绽的文字，反而让世人得以窥见他真实的自我，以及他内心的声音。

尚未完成的手稿，在1960年加缪丧生的车祸现场被发现放在他罹难时所携带的随身背袋中，其中总共有一百四十四页的手稿，部分段落因为未加任何标点符号因而难以辨识。但却一直到1994年才得以出版面市，在第一个月就有十万本的销售成绩，可见读者对加缪的热爱并未因他的死而削减。

The unfinished manuscript of The First Man was discovered in the wreckage of car accident in which Camus died in 1960. Although it was not published for over thirty years, it was an instant bestseller when it finally appeared in 1994. The 'first man' is Jacques Cormery, whose poverty-stricken childhood in Algiers is made bearable by his love for his silent and illiterate mother, and by the teacher who transforms his view of the world. The most autobiographical of Camus's novels, it gives profound insights into his life and the powerful themes underlying his work.

Albert Camus was born in Algeria in 1913. The works that established his international reputation include THE PLAGUE, THE FALL, THE REBEL and THE OUTSIDER. Camus died in a road accident in 1960 and is remembered as one of the greatest philsophical novelists of the twentieth century.

作者简介

加缪在作品中深刻揭示了人在异己的世界中的孤独、个人与自身的日益异化以及罪恶和死亡的不可避免。
