Create Dangerously by Albert Camus

'To create today is to create dangerously. Any publication is an act, and that act exposes one to the passions of an age that forgives nothing'

Camus's impactful lecture remains as pertinent today as it was in the past, presenting a case against the notion of 'art for art's sake.' In his Nobel Prize speech, he eloquently outlines his perspective on the role and duties of artists, offering a brilliant vision that resonates just as strongly in the contemporary world.

About the author

Albert Camus (1913-60) grew up in a working-class neighbourhood in Algiers. He studied philosophy at the University of Algiers, and became a journalist. His most important works include The Outsider, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Plague and The Fall. After the occupation of France by the Germans in 1941, Camus became one of the intellectual leaders of the Resistance movement. He was killed in a road accident, and his last unfinished novel, The First Man, appeared posthumously.
