«L'Étranger» is the philosophical novel by Albert Camus, published by Gallimard in paperback (185 pages, in French).
Meursault, an office clerk in Algiers, attends his mother's funeral with coldness. Soon after, he resumes his life with Marie and strikes up a relationship with Raymond; an encounter on the beach triggers a crime and a trial. The novel reflects the absurd, the protagonist's indifference, and the weight of social conventions.
It belongs to Gallimard's Folio collection, number 2. The work was originally published in 1942 and its author received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957.
A common school reading and a natural gateway to twentieth-century French literature and existentialism.
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.
