Editing Albert Camus (section)

===World War II, Resistance and ''Combat''===
Soon after Camus moved to Paris, the outbreak of [[World War II]] began to affect France. Camus volunteered to join the army but was not accepted because he had once had tuberculosis. As the Germans were marching towards Paris, Camus fled. He was laid off from {{lang|fr|Paris-Soir}} and ended up in [[Lyon]], where he married pianist and mathematician [[Francine Faure]] on 3 December 1940.{{sfn|Hayden|2016|pp=13–14}} Camus and Faure moved back to Algeria ([[Oran]]), where he taught in primary schools.{{sfn|Sherman|2009|p=13}} Because of his tuberculosis, he moved to the French Alps on medical advice. There he began writing his second cycle of works, this time dealing with revolt – a novel, ''La Peste'' (''[[The Plague (novel)|The Plague]]''), and a play, ''Le Malentendu'' (''[[The Misunderstanding]]''). By 1943 he was known because of his earlier work. He returned to Paris, where he met and became friends with [[Jean-Paul Sartre]]. He also became part of a circle of intellectuals, which included [[Simone de Beauvoir]] and [[André Breton]]. Among them was the actress [[María Casares]], who later had an affair with Camus.{{sfnm|1a1=Hayden|1y=2016|p=14|2a1=Sherman|2y=2009|2p=13}}

Camus took an active role in the underground resistance movement against the Germans during the [[Occupation of France|French Occupation]]. Upon his arrival in Paris, he started working as a journalist and editor of the banned newspaper ''[[Combat (newspaper)|Combat]]''. Camus used a pseudonym for his ''Combat'' articles and used false ID cards to avoid being captured. He continued writing for the paper after the liberation of France,{{sfnm|1a1=Hayden|1y=2016|2a1=Sherman|2y=2009|2p=23}} composing almost daily editorials under his real name.{{sfn|Carroll|2013|p=278}} During that period he composed four ''[[Resistance, Rebellion, and Death|Lettres à un Ami Allemand]]'' ('Letters to a German Friend'), explaining why resistance was necessary.{{sfn|Hayden|2016|p=15}}
