«El extranjero» is the novel by Albert Camus published by Planeta in its Clásicos de Nuestro Tiempo collection, in hardback (132 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Meursault, a man who does not fake feelings: neither at his mother's death nor after an act of violence in Algiers. Meursault's lack of emotion scandalizes society and ends up weighing more than the crime itself at the trial. El extranjero is a reflection on the absurd, the world's indifference, and the failure to communicate.
The translation is by Bonifacio del Carril; the novel originally appeared in 1942 as L'Étranger and was published by Planeta in its Clásicos de Nuestro Tiempo collection.
Aimed at readers of twentieth-century classics and those approaching existentialist narrative and the absurd.
Albert Camus was a French philosopher, writer, and political activist. He was the recipient of the 1957 Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of 44, the second-youngest recipient in history, and the first laureate in literature born in Africa. His works include The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall and The Rebel.
