Facel-Vega. In 1957 ALBERT CAMUS was at the top of his game: his novels The Stranger, The Plague and The Rebel were internationally recognized as great writing and serious thinking, and he became the youngest person ever to win literature's Nobel Prize. In 1960 he was working on another novel, a semi-autobiography about his young life in Algiers. On January 4, 1960 Camus was riding in a Facel-Vega sports car with publisher Michel Gallimard and Gallimard's wife and daughter, travelling from Provence to Paris. Outside the village of Petit Villemomble, the car slid off the wet road and hit a tree, breaking Camus' neck and killing him instantly (Gallimard died a few days later). The incomplete manuscript he was working on, Le Premier Homme (The First Man), was finally published in 1995.
