Albert Camus was born in Mondovi, Algeria, to French parents. After his father died in 1914, Camus and his brother Lucien moved with their mother to a working-class district of Algiers. Camus reflected on his early years in Algeria in two collections of essays: The Wrong Side and the Right Side (1937) and Nuptials (1938).
