Sinopse

Upon receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature, one of the first people Albert Camus thought of was his former teacher, Mr. Germain. Unpublished in Brazil, "Caro Professor Germain" is a testament to the love, respect, and affection between student and teacher.

“November 19, 1957

Dear Mr. Germain,

I let the noise that surrounded me all these days die down a bit before coming to speak to you from the bottom of my heart. They have just bestowed upon me an exceedingly great honor, one I neither sought nor requested. But when I heard the news, my first thought, after my mother's, was of you. Without you, without that affectionate hand that reached out to the poor little boy that I was, without your teaching and your example, none of this would have happened to me.

[...]

I hug him with all my strength.

Albert Camus”

As soon as he received the Nobel Prize for Literature, Albert Camus wrote to his former teacher in Algiers, without whom, according to Camus himself, none of this would have happened. This book brings together for the first time letters that Albert Camus and Louis Germain exchanged over the years, filled with mutual affection and admiration. It also contains the text "The School" from Camus's unfinished novel, The First Man , in which Germain is the inspiration for the character Bernard, a stern, rigorous teacher, but above all, extremely affectionate and passionate about teaching.

Dear Professor Germain is a tribute to the relationship of gratitude and affection between a student and his teacher and an inspiring testament to the transformative power of education.
