Notebooks 1951–1959 is the third volume ofAlbert Camus' notes. Two more volumes of Camus' notes were also published (Notebooks 1935–1942 andNotebooks 1942–1951). This book shed light on Camus' thought related to his continual rivalry withJean-Paul Sartre and a large part of the left, after his bookThe Rebel (L’Homme révolté) was published. Camus' despair is evident: "I await with patience a catastrophe that is slow in coming". His thoughts on Nobel prize are also depicted: "Nobel. Strange feeling of overwhelming pressure and melancholy. At 20 years old, poor and naked, I knew true glory. My mother."[1]
