It's the January of 1960 when the car in which Albert Camus is on board, traveling swap to Paris, swerves in full straight and crashed into a tree about a hundred kilometers from the capital. Along with Camus, also dies his friend and publisher Michel Gallimard, who was driving.
After more than forty years, from the diaries of the Czech poet and translator Jan zabrana emerges a fact that sheds new light on what at the time was dismissed as an accident. On the death of Camus lengthens the shadow of the KGB, who would tamper with the car on the orders of the then Soviet foreign minister Shepilov. Camus, in fact, had fought against the USSR intervention in Hungary in 1956, and in numerous articles and public speeches he had personally attacked the powerful Russian politician. Not to mention his support for the nomination for the Nobel Prize for Boris Pasternak, author opposed and disliked at home.
A hundred years after the birth of Albert Camus, this book opens the mystery of the death of the French writer, moving between suspects and witnesses on the hunt for a possible answer. At the same time, returns the climate of an entire historical period, with details and anecdotes often unpublished figures on how zabrana and Pasternak, who lived, paying in person, the oppressive atmosphere of the Cold War.
The name of Albert Camus is associated with works like "Alien" swap or "The Plague", studies on the myth of Sisyphus. Literary works, certainly, but Albert Camus was much more. Giovanni Catelli recalls and emphasizes this aspect swap 'plural' in the book Camus must die (Nutrients, p. 159, 13).

The purpose of Catelli's unravel the mystery which for years has borne the death of this writer, who died just forty-six years in a car accident. A death rather mundane, even according to the same Camus shortly before the fact. For some it was only one fatality, the other thing was orchestrated properly to get rid of an awkward man, who talked too much regardless of who was in power. Catelli says with great conviction the second hypothesis. swap
Camus was a writer "rebel". At first joined swap the Communist Party, and later became, according to the author, an anarchist. The event which more than any other could have caused his death is the opposition who, through swap his writings, brought forward against the policies of the Soviet government. The hot issue that is analyzed is that of the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956. Camus, as well as other intellectuals of his thick, responded to the appeal of Hungarian writers, and intellectuals who demanded solidarity 'European'. The letter writer was published in response to a complaint directed against Russia and, in particular, against the foreign minister Dmitry Shepilov. This was, according to Catelli, an act of defiance against the Soviet Union. Such an event revolves around the argument that the death of Camus was designed by the KGB, the same minister Shepilov as representative.
But this thesis is to be read as a pretext for an objective in its own way, more ambitious: a review of the historical figure of Camus as an intellectual dissident. All of this is often overlooked, emphasizing only the writer Camus won the Nobel Prize. Critics tend to lose sight of the vocation and social policy, both present in the work of Camus. Catelli's merit lies in having brought to light a figure which was in danger of disappearing behind tomes of literary analysis, to have them restored light and color, thickness, and life.
