Sinopse

In 1944, on the eve of D-Day, one of the greatest authors of the 20th century and one of the greatest actresses of French theater began a love affair. Unpublished in Brazil, Write Much and Without Fear is a collection of the intense exchange of letters between Albert Camus and Maria Casarès, a testament to two lovers' search for the true experience of love.

On March 19, 1944, Albert Camus and Maria Casarès met at Michel Leiris's house. The former student of the Paris Conservatory of Dramatic Art, born in A Coruña and daughter of a Spanish politician forced into exile, was only 21 years old. She had begun her career in 1942 at the Théâtre des Mathurins, the same year Camus published *The Stranger* by Gallimard. At the time, the writer was living alone in Paris. Because of the war, he was separated from his wife, Francine, who had remained in Oran, Algeria.

Sensitive to the actress's talent, he entrusted her with the role of Martha in the premiere of his play, The Misunderstanding, in June 1944. On June 6 of that same year, the night of D-Day, Albert Camus and Maria Casarès became lovers. This was just the preamble to a great love story that would only truly take off in 1948.

Against the backdrop of the lovers' lives and creative activities (books and conferences in the case of the writer; the Comédie-Française, tours, and the National Popular Theater in the case of the actress), the exchange of letters reveals the intensity of the relationship, lived not only in absence and deprivation but also in the understanding of the necessity of this separation, in the ardor of desire, in the happiness of shared days, in common work, and in the search for true love, with its perfect formulation and full realization.

It is well known that Albert Camus's work is permeated by the idea and experience of love. The publication of this enormous exchange of letters reveals a cornerstone of a constant concern in his work. "When you love someone, you love them forever," Maria Casarès confided long after Albert Camus's death; "when you have not been alone once, you will never be again."
