Le 04 janvier 1960, Albert Camus s'en allait un peu dans un tragique accident de voiture a l'age de 47 ans. Quatre annees auparavant, il etait l'un des plus jeunes ecrivains a recevoir le prix Nobel de litterature pour toute son oeuvre. L'enfance pauvre a Belcourt, la passion du football, le journalisme a Alger Republicain puis l'exclusion et l'exil par la France de Vichy, Camus sera force de monter a Paris. Il rejoindra la Resistance et sera le redacteur en chef de Combat. Romancier, dramaturge, essayiste, Camus sera aussi acteur et metteur en scene. Apres la publication de L'Homme revolte, puis la rupture avec son ami Jean-Paul Sartre, il quittera Combat puis ecrira des articles sur l'Algerie avant de se taire completement, sans neanmoins cesser d'agir en silence. Certainement pas existentialiste, anti-communiste tres tot, il avait ete l'Intellectuel de la periode 45-60 d'apres la liberation, celui dont le nom finira par etre oppose a celui de Sartre. Si Camus est mort jeune, il aura vecu pleinement sa courte vie; et s'il est encore difficile de le categoriser, il reste encore d'actualite, souleve souvent des passions, ne laissant jamais indifferent. Peut-on parler d'un heritage camusien ? Que reste-t-il de son oeuvre en Amerique ? Afin de ne pas oublier cet etranger si familier, pour le cinquantenaire de la mort de Camus, le Bureau du Doyen des Etudes Internationales et le Centre d'Etudes Europeennes de l'Universite du Wisconsin-Madison ont organise du 22 au 24 avril 2010, un symposium Albert Camus, 50 ans apres, autour des trois grands themes suivants: Camus et l'Algerie, Camus et l'exil, Camus et le public. Une quinzaine d'universitaires, de chercheurs, et de professeurs, d'Algerie, de France, du Canada et des Etats-Unis, etaient presents a ces journees dont nous publions les Actes dans cet ouvrage. L'objectif de ce second colloque etait de creer un debat autour de Camus et de sa vision, souvent prophetique, relire ses ecrits litteraires et politiques et voir dans quelle mesure son oeuvre pacifiste, peut etre une source d'inspiration dans les luttes pour la liberte et la democratie, une alternative a la violence et a la terreur qui demeurent aujourd'hui encore, helas tres actuelles.

Albert Mittens, a lazy cat, goes out to see the world for the first time. He wanders off into a strange part of town and finds a secret potion that gives him special powers. But he finds being a super cat isn't so easy when he meets a pair of creatures who are not of this earth.
With an introduction by the writer Toby Litt.The eponymous Albert is an architect by training but a supply teacher out of necessity. Feeling that he is failing at both, and haunted by a failed love affair, he begins to question what he wants to achieve. Using a number of original narrative techniques Johnson attempts to reproduce life (and its travails) as closely as possible through fiction, while at the same time revelling in the impossibility of such a task.A passionate advocate for the avant-garde, B S Johnson said of the acerbically comic and exuberant Albert Angelo that it was where he 'really discovered what he should be doing'. And on page 163 of this extraordinary book is one of the most surprising lines in English fiction. But you should start at the beginning.
At once an old-fashioned-buddy-novel-shoot-'em-up and a work of deliciously imagined fantasy, Howard L. Anderson's dazzling debut presents the haunting story of a world where something has gone horribly awry . . . Having escaped from Australia's Adelaide Zoo, an orphaned platypus named Albert embarks on a journey through the outback in search of "Old Australia," a rumored land of liberty, promise, and peace. What he will find there, however, away from the safe confinement of his enclosure for the first time since his earliest memories, proves to be a good deal more than he anticipated. Alone in the outback, with an empty soft drink bottle as his sole possession, Albert stumbles upon pyromaniacal wombat Jack, and together they spend a night drinking and gambling in Ponsby Station, a rough-and-tumble mining town. Accused of burning down the local mercantile, the duo flees into menacing dingo territory and quickly go their separate ways-Albert to pursue his destiny in the wastelands, Jack to reconcile his past. Encountering a motley assortment of characters along the way-a pair of invariably drunk bandicoots, a militia of kangaroos, hordes of the mercurial dingoes, and a former prize-fighting Tasmanian devil-our unlikely hero will discover a strength and skill for survival he never suspected he possessed. Told with equal parts wit and compassion, Albert of Adelaide shows how it is often the unexpected route, and the most improbable companions, that lead us on the path to who we really are. Who you journey with, after all, is far more important than wherever it is you are going.
