Notebooks 1951–1959 is the third volume of Albert Camus' notes. Two more volumes of Camus' notes were also published ( Notebooks 1935–1942 and Notebooks 1942–1951). This book shed light on Camus' thought related to his continual rivalry with Jean-Paul Sartre and a large part of the left, after his book The 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]
