About The Stranger

The Stranger (L'Étranger, 1942) by Albert Camus is the founding text of literary absurdism — a brief, crystalline novel about Meursault, an Algerian Frenchman who kills an Arab on a beach and is tried not for the murder but for his emotional detachment. One of the most widely read novels in the world and the most accessible entry point to 20th-century French existentialist and absurdist literature.
