The Meaning Of Life

Date of Review:  Jul 12, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is a classic of world literature that everyone should read.
Review: Albert Camus' timeless literary classic, The Stranger, is the tale of an average lower middle-class French Algerian Colonist named Mersault who finds himself involved in a pointless murder. The story is told through Meursault's eyes. Meursault has a...

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
The Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend The Stranger because it failed to capture my interest.
Review: Albert Camus is a renowned French author whose work, The Stranger, has been read by people from all over the world because of its critical message. Translated word-for-word by Matthew Ward, The Stranger is a rather mysterious story about Monsieur...

Whether You Agree with Camus or Not, It's Good.

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you find yourself in disagreement with Camus, then look to the indirect message that the novel sends.
Review: To be honest, this was one of the books we were forced to read for my English class. But, it was actually a book I didn't mind reading at all. Basically, a man, Meursault, lives his life out of touch with any sort of emotion other than what his...

Human Nature In Short Form

Date of Review:  Feb 8, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this book highly because it introduces one to philosophical ideas on a small scale. It can be read quickly, and is not difficult to comprehend.
Review: Though many people have argued about the system which all human beings are connected, Albert Camus's The Stranger depicts the rules of society in a novel that will not take more than a day or two to read. The novel itself is very straightforward;...
