3	{tooltip}Image and Symbol in the Works of Albert Camus{end-texte}Abstract – The present research paper is an attempt to examine aspects of Camus’s literary talents: his creation of symbols. The two images- sun and sea- recur in Camus’s work and achieve symbolical force. The range of Camus’s imagery is fairly narrow and derives almost entirely from the central experience of his life, his encounter with nature and surroundings. Images are concerned with the blinding sun. Algerian landscape is the main character and it is the main surroundings. It is within the context of this particular experience of nature that Camus’s references to the sun and the sea need to be set. These images figure prominently in Camus’s work because they are obviously the representative images of the type of landscape in which he was born and spent the formative years of his life.{end-tooltip}	Hitendrakumar M.
