Description: In 1960 a mysterious car crash killed Albert Camus and his publisher Michel Gallimard who was behind the wheel. Based on meticulous research Giovanni Catelli builds a compelling case that the 46 - year - old French Algerian Nobel laureate was the victim of premeditated murder: he was silenced by the KGB. The Russians had a motive: Camus had campaigned tirelessly against the Soviet crushing of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and vociferously supported the awarding of the Nobel Prize to the dissident novelist Boris Pasternak which enraged Moscow. Sixty years after Camus death Catelli takes us back to a murky period in the Cold War. He probes the relationship between Camus and Pasternak the fraught publication of Doctor Zhivago the penetration of France by Soviet spies and the high price paid by those throughout Europe who resisted the USSR.
