Personal Writings by Albert Camus is a transformative collection that redefines one of literature's most celebrated figures. Experience the early years of Camus, shaped by the vibrant landscapes of Algeria, as you delve into this unique compilation of his most intimate autobiographical works.

This remarkable collection includes:

  • The Wrong Side and the Right Side: Camus' debut, offering a vivid depiction of his family life and childhood in a working-class neighborhood.
  • Nuptials: A celebration of sensory experiences, revealing the beauty of sun, sea, and landscape that influenced his creative spirit.
  • Summer: A contemplative journey through the cities of Algiers and Oran, exploring themes of nature and identity.

In Personal Writings, Geoff Dyer aptly notes the impact of Camus' "world of poverty and sunshine," which not only shaped his writing but also enriched his philosophical insights. These lyrical and emotive essays provide a deeper understanding of the man behind the intellect, revealing how his sensory experiences fueled his work.

Recognized for its literary significance, Personal Writings is essential for anyone looking to explore the roots of Camus' thought. This collection is not merely a glimpse into his life; it is a profound exploration of how environment and emotion intertwine in the fabric of great literature.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
