An ordinary man is unwittingly caught up in a senseless murder in Algeria.
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
Albert Camus’s spare, laconic masterpiece about a Frenchman who murders an Arab in Algeria is famous for having diagnosed, with a clarity almost scientific, that condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life.
Possessing both the force of a parable and the excitement of a perfectly executed thriller,The Stranger is the work of one of the most engaged and intellectually alert writers of the past century.
Translated by Matthew Ward
