​The richness of this critical study of Camus by Edward J. Hughes lies very much in the shifting perspective on two countries – Algeria, the land of Camus’ birth on 7 November 1913, and France, where Camus died in a car crash on 4 January 1960, at the age of 46.
Edward Hughes asks and answers the difficult question of ‘Who is Camus?’ as he untangles his complicated emotional life and his abandoned attempts to live by conventional morality. The multi-faceted, complex Camus with an Existentialist tag is an intellectual first and foremost, a polemicist, an outspoken campaigner with a strong sense of justice, a novelist, a playwright, a theatre director and a fun-loving gastronome.

Edward J. Hughes is Professor of French at Queen Mary, University of London. His books include Writing Marginality in Modern French Literature: from Loti to Genet (2001) andProust, Class, and Nation (2011). He edited The Cambridge Companion to Camus (2007).

The book will be on sale that evening.
Founded by a Royal Charter from King Edward VI in 1550, the French Protestant Church of London in Soho Square is the last Huguenot Church in London. It's the unique Protestant French speaking worship place in London. The Church building designed by the famous Victorian architect Aston Webb in 1893 hosts also a historic Library and a Museum."
