Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Albert Camus was the first African-born writer and philosopher to receive which Nobel Prize?"
...Born in French Algeria in 1913 Albert Camus was often linked with Sartre. He denied being an existentialist, and now he is credited with being partly responsible for the rise of absurdism. Although an avowed pacifist, he joined the French Resistance during World War II, publishing an underground newspaper. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1957, and died in a car crash just over two years later.
