«El extranjero» is the novel by Albert Camus, published by Alianza in paperback (124 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Algeria, the novel follows Meursault, a man who faces with strange indifference both the death of his mother and the crime he ends up committing. Through his voice, Camus portrays the individual's alienation from social conventions and the search for meaning in a meaningless existence.
It belongs to Alianza's El Libro de Bolsillo (Biblioteca Camus, no. 657), with a translation by José Ángel Valente. Originally published in 1942 as «L'Étranger».
A classic of twentieth-century French literature, it is common reading in schools and suitable for the general public.
Albert Camus was a French philosopher, writer, and political activist.
