Does anyone know of any titles by Albert Camus that are in French?  My son in law is learning French as he works with a lot of French speaking Canadians so he wants to read books written in French so that he can keep up his learning.

His main works:

 

His plays:

He has a lot of other published books, but they're of a different nature. I added the English titles to his two most famous works, The Stranger and The Plague.

I pulled these from French Wikipedia.

If you go to Camus' listing in English Wikipedia here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Camus

and click on any title, you'll be take to a listing for that book, and it will show the French title.

Thanks.  I had gotten a book by him, but it had ended up being a translated edition.
