«Camus brûlant» is the essay by Benjamin Stora and Jean-Baptiste Péretié, published by Stock in paperback (109 pages, in French).
Starting from the controversy over the exhibition on Camus in Aix-en-Provence for the 2013 centenary, where Benjamin Stora and Jean-Baptiste Péretié were set aside and replaced by Michel Onfray, the book analyses the tensions the writer still arouses: the colonial question, the Algerian War and the political appropriations of his figure.
The essay is part of the «Parti pris» collection. It was originally published in 2013 and reissued in 2019.
Readers interested in Albert Camus, the history of Algeria and French political debate.
Benjamin Stora is a French historian, expert on North Africa, who is widely considered one of the world's leading authorities on Algerian history. He was born in a Jewish family that left the country following its War of Independence in 1962. Stora holds two PhDs and a Doctorate of the State (1991).
