The Stranger

Existential enigma unfolds in absurd murder tale.

If you've ever felt disconnected from society's norms or pondered the random chaos of existence, "The Stranger" can resonate deeply. Camus has woven an emblematic tale of alienation and the human condition that continues to provoke thought about our place in the world. It's a short read, but its impact is profound, challenging you to question the meaning of your own actions and the structures that govern our lives.

Description

Since it was first published in English in 1946, Albert Camus's first novel, The Stranger (L'etranger), has had a profound impact on millions of American readers. Through this story of an ordinary man who unwittingly gets drawn into a senseless murder on a sun-drenched Algerian beach, Camus explored what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd." Now, in an illuminating new American translation, extraordinary for its exactitude and clarity, the original intent of The Stranger is made more immediate. This haunting novel has been given a new life for generations to come.
