In 1949, Albert Camus traveled to our country to undertake a conference tour in the context of cultural interchange between France and Brazil. Reading the Travel Diary, composed during his stay, leaves the impression of a strong disagreement between the writer and Brazilians. This impression is partly truthful since the nature of the cultural interchange as an “official meeting” made it possible to a certain extent a real meeting and a fruitful dialogue between the parties. On the other hand, we cannot ignore that there was a dialogue between Camus, his readers, and Brazilian peers through the personal meetings that he held or through the ideas conveyed in his conferences. In Brazil, the newspapers of the time noticed his visit, as well as he left his trace in the memory of the people who met him. For Camus, some experiences lived in Brazil and carefully recorded in his diary are used in the writing of the short novel “The Growing Stone” of Exile and the Kingdom, through which a real encounter with Brazil operates through fiction.
