The present study aims at discussing the concept of happiness and man-nature relationship in Albert Camus youth essays named Noces and Le mythe de Sisyphe. We understand that, in order to approach these concepts, our author had dialogued with Epicure, i.e., had used Epicure s writings as the foundation of his essays. We will then try to explain Epicure s philosophy concerning his building a concept of happiness based on physics. After going through Epicure, we will approach the concepts of happiness and man-nature relationship in both essays, in order to clarify Camus dialogue with Epicure. We will try to explain the above stated objectives through the paths of lyricism and absurd. According to the first path, man meets happiness and experiences unity through sensitive experience; according to the second, man finds out the relationships with the world, the other men, his own existence, and through these can identify with nature. The phase of lyricism grants man the perception of the links which ties him to nature; the phase of absurd provides him with the awareness about the distance that supports the links
