PARIS — A handwritten manuscript of classic French novel 'The Strange r' by Albert Camus goes up for auction on Wednesday — a unique item, since it appears to have been made after the book was published.The 104-page draft is expected to reach between 500,000 and 800,000 euros at the Tajan auction house in Paris.
This one is full of jokey sketches, remarks and subtle annotations, and an expert who studied it in later years said it had actually been put together in 1944 — a view reportedly confirmed to him by Camus' widow.With the French capital under Nazi occupation at the time, it may have been a way of raising desperately needed funds by creating a handwritten copy for a wealthy fan.
