Rare copy of this short-lived periodical censored after only two issues. founded by Camus with Gabriel Audisio and Jacques Heurgon.
Launched when he was only twenty-four years old, it contains one of the very first expressions of Camus’s “Mediterranean humanism”. The young author published there a section of Noces and, above all, wrote the periodical's manifesto which already reveals the constant and vibrant presence of the Mediterranean at the very core of his work.
