Soft cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Paperback in good used condition, normal wear and marks apply consistent with use and age. 120 pages all intact, all pages and text in good, clean, readable order. "The Outsider" by Nobel Prizewinner Albert Camus, is considered to be one of the most important modern French novels, and is the forerunner of a great deal of contemporary writing. Meursault is a young man who works as a clerk in Algiers. he lives in the usual manner of a French - Algerian, middle class bachelor, cooking his evening meal for himself in his small flat, sleeping with his girl at the weekends, bathing, going to the pictures. But he has a glaring fault in the eyes of society, he seems to lack the basic emotions and reactions (including hypocrisy) that are required of him. He observes the facts of life, death and sex from the outside. Even when he is involved in a personal tragedy which results in a frightening and unjust trial, he considers his own feelings and the actions of others with a clam and almost ironic truthfulness. "A book so well written and profoundly disturbing that it is in a class by itself, seldom have i read a work which says so much in so short a space," John Betjeman. Seller Inventory # 1039
