Jean Brune et Albert Camus. Deux écrivains pieds-noirs face au drame de l’Algérie française

Jean Brune (1912-1973) was a fellow student of Albert Camus (1913-1960) at the Lycée d’Alger and, as he puts it, "sometimes his friend during the course of life".

Comparing the two prestigious Pied-Noir writers, one discovers surprising similarities between Cette haine qui ressemble à l’amour and La Révolte on one side, and Noces, L’Été, L’Hôte and Le Premier Homme on the other.

Faced with the tragedy of French Algeria, their reaction was unanimous: they insisted on the "right of men not to be driven from their childhood memories".
