Product Description

 
In the story of an ordinary man who unwittingly gets drawn into a senseless murder on a sun-drenched Algerian beach, Camus was exploring what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd". Now in a new American translation, the classic has been given new life for generations to come.

Camus's brief first novel: still being argued about 64 years later

Date of Review:  Sep 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: This review is filled with plot-spoilers for anyone unfamiliar with the book (or Visconti's screen adaptation of it).
Review: Albert Camus died (in an automobile accident) a year and a half before fellow Nobel Prize-winner Ernest Hemingway. A few years later (the mid-1960s) when I was reading their fiction, Hemingway seemed much "longer ago" than Camus did. In part this is...

Albert Camus' The Stranger: Strange Indeed

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 2009

Hardcover, The Stranger
(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.
