the first man
The "man" in the title is perhaps the father of the child Jacques Cormery, the protagonist of this work. But little is known about this immigrant father, who died on the front lines of World War I. The true first man is the son: fatherless, raised in a miserable neighborhood on the outskirts of Algiers by an authoritarian grandmother who inflicted corporal punishment on him before a mother exhausted by her work "in other people's homes," how did that child become a Nobel Prize in Literature winner? This novel, which narrates how that child builds himself, is the story of Albert Camus's childhood. -- The "man" in the title is perhaps the father of the child Jacques Cormery, the protagonist of this work.
