«El extranjero» is the novel by Albert Camus published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback, in Spanish.
The novel follows Meursault, a man indifferent to social conventions, from the death of his mother to a crime with no apparent motive in Algiers. At the trial, what matters less than the act is his inability to show grief or remorse, which makes him a stranger to society: a reflection on the absurd, morality, and the autonomy of the individual.
The work was originally published in French as L'Étranger in 1942; this Spanish edition features a translation by Bonifacio del Carril.
For readers interested in twentieth-century French literature and the philosophical questions the novel raises.
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.
