About this title

Synopsis:

Through the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless * on an Algerian beach, Camus explored what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd." This edition includes the original English translation by Stuart Gilbert, first published in 1946.

Book Description:

Patrick McCarthy places The Stranger in the context of a French and French-Algerian history and culture, examines the way the work undermines traditional concepts of fiction, and explores the parallels (and more importantly the contrasts) between Camus and Sartre.
