«Hoy, mamá ha muerto. O tal vez ayer, no sé.»
Publicada originalmente en 1942, El extranjero es la primera novela de Albert Camus y una de sus obras más emblemáticas. Ahora con nueva traducción al español de María Teresa Gallego Urrutia y Amaya García Gallego, este libro capital para la cultura del siglo XX transcurre en Argelia y narra la anodina vida de Meursault, un joven oficinista que vive en perpetua apatía. Cuando recibe la noticia del fallecimiento de su madre, la encaja con la mayor impasibilidad. Obligado a abandonar la capital y viajar para asistir al funeral, Meursault desea que la ceremonia sea breve para regresar a su casa. Esa indiferencia existencial marca sus días, avanzando sin reaccionar a la muerte de su madre, al afecto de su amada y ni tan siquiera a un crimen que cometerá con idéntica desidia, incapaz de ver el alcance moral de sus actos.
Camus retrata magistralmente la indolencia del hombre del siglo XX, un hombre que no encuentra su lugar, extranjero en su propio mundo. Este personaje escéptico y desapasionado que ha abandonado su condición de sujeto autónomo sigue siendo hoy un imprescindible referente literario y existencial.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The book that inspired an upcoming film adaptation, directed by François Ozon
With the intrigue of a psychological thriller, Camus's masterpiece gives us the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach.
Behind the intrigue, Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd" and describes the condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life.
First published in 1946.
