Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. 1st Edition. Translated from the French by Stuart Gilbert. First American Edition/First Printing/First Issue Dust Jacket. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION stated on copyright page, verso title page. 1946 stated on both copyright & title page. Condition: Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. Boards are firm & straight. Engraved maroon lettering on spine & matching Borzoi logo on back board are entirely unfaded, clear, & intact. A couple of small stains on spine & front board. Minor tanning to top edges of both boards. Minor fraying along one small strip of front board's bottom edge. Extremely small-scale pilling of cloth on both boards. Notable bumping to both ends of spine. Some spotting to top of text block. Side & bottom of text block look clear & attractive. Binding is tight overall - very slightly less-so where text-block meets either board. A couple of very small stains on front pastedown. Areas of staining & small pieces of residue remaining on FFEP (opposite front pastedown). Residue appears to be from removed bookplate, sticker, or similar. Vertical staining to half of final page of text, p. 154, darkening text but not ruining text's legibility. Novel's entire 154 pages of text are present, including novel's correct last line, but copy's RFEP - in addition to the 1 page immediately preceding it - have been cut out. While RFEP would be blank, the nature of the preceding missing page remains unknown. No writing, markings, stickers, bookplates, or similar found inside book. All text (w/ exception of aforementioned staining on p. 154) appears 100% clean, clear, legible, & unfaded. Pieces of residue & areas of abrasion present on rear pastedown. Not a single stamp or other library marking exists anywhere in or on this copy, so unlikely to be ex-library. Residue & abrasions thus likely due to removed stickers, bookplates, tape, etc. ORIGINAL dust jacket. Jacket currently consists of 4 separate, unattached pieces, due to splitting along vertical creases between each panel & flap. Mylar covering alone now holds dust jacket together. Jacket appears to have been horizontally folded into thirds at some point, leaving creases. Prior owner had both glued & taped stiff backing material to jacket, which was later removed. Significant abrasions, chipping, open & closed tears, splitting, residue, & residual black tape along the top of jacket as result. Despite past, rough mishandling, dust jacket remains mostly complete & almost entirely legible. Foxing to much of jacket. Unclipped. Original $2.00 net price still visible on front flap, albeit in slightly broken type (presumably from tape abrasion). Overall, a solid & exceptionally rare copy in first!

First Edition
Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First English language edition. First UK edition, preceding the first American edition. A lovely, Near Fine copy of the book in like dust jacket. Book with a bit of foxing, mostly to the closed text block and the spine cloth a trifle faded. Dust jacket with slight wear at the crown and a very small chip at the base of the spine. Spine a bit toned and a few spots of foxing to the rear panel, but generally a fresh, bright copy. Camus' groundbreaking debut, first published in France in 1942, positioned him as one of Europe's most influential existentialist thinkers (though Camus himself would resist that label). Written in the lead up to the Nazi invasion, The Outsider follows the protagonist Meursault, a French Algerian, as he learns of his mother's death, commits a murder the same day, and is ultimately sentenced to death. Throughout the experience, Meursault eschews all of the expected human emotions; he is detached from bourgeois feelings, focusing instead on the absolute absurdity of life. Before Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, becoming the first African-born laureate, he explained that the novel was inspired by "a remark I admit was highly paradoxical: 'In our society, a man who does not weep at his funeral runs the risk of being sentenced to death.'.the hero of my book is condemned because he does not play the game" (Carroll). A foundational and brilliant part of the modern literary-philosophical canon. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.

First Edition
First American edition of Camus' first novel and masterpiece. Octavo, original beige cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket, contemporary inscription to the front free endpaper, abrasion to the front panel. Jacket design by Warren Chappell. Translated by Stuart Gilbert. Through the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach, Camus explored what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd." With the publication of this first novel Lâ Etranger (The Stranger), Camus introduced his lifelong attempt to reconcile a philosophy of heroic nihilism with â the ideal of human fraternityâ (Encyclopedia of Philosophy). It remains one of the classic works of the twentieth century.
