Collection: Albert Camus Prints

Albert Camus (1913–1960) grew up poor in French Algeria, edited the Resistance newspaper Combat, and won the Nobel Prize at 44. The Stranger, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Plague and The Rebel supply most of the lines here: clear, sunlit French about living well without easy answers.

The prints carry the French original only, and the English translation is on the product page; a few lines best known in English appear that way. Camus reads well in a bedroom or a study. The invincible-summer line has become the classic gift for someone coming through a hard year.

Three to start with

• Au milieu de l'hiver, j'ai découvert en moi un invincible été (In the midst of winter, I found within me an invincible summer)
• Il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux (One must imagine Sisyphus happy)
• Je me révolte, donc nous sommes (I rebel, therefore we exist)

Questions people ask

Are the attributions reliable? Most lines are traced to a named book or essay and marked high confidence on the product page. Where a translation has drifted from the French, or the source is a notebook rather than a published work, we mark it medium, and one line is marked disputed.

How do I print it? You download a PDF with embedded vector type. It prints cleanly at home, at a copy shop or through an online printer.

Which sizes are available? Eight, from 5 x 7 inches to 24 x 36 inches, plus A4.
