As a philosophy teacher, mentor and friend, Jean Grenier had an enormous influence on the young Albert Camus, who, in fact, acknowledged that Grenier's Les Iles had touched the very core of his sensibility and provided him with both a terrain for reflection, and a format that he would later use for his own essays. Their correspondence, beginning when the 17-year-old Camus was Grenier's student at the Grand Lyce of Algiers, documents the younger man's struggle to become a writer and find his own voice, a period in which he turned frequently to his mentor for advice, comfort and direction. The letters cover a period of almost 30 years, from 1932 to Camus's untimely death in 1960. Because Camus destroyed the earlier correspondence he received, the first 26 letters in the volume are his only, with the full exchange resuming in 1940.
