PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY CAMUS: "A Yvon Belaval en souvenir des Portiques d'Alger, amicalement Albert Camus."  Philosopher and literary scholar Yvon Belaval was a Diderot specialist. He helped edit an edition of Denis Diderot's works with Jean Grenier, who taught in Algiers where he was hugely influential on Camus. L'Homme Revolte, an expansion of his earlier views expressed in l'Etranger and Le Mythe de Sisyphe, provoked a bitter controversy between Sartre and Camus, resulting in the end of their relationship.
