Editorial Review Product Description The plot is simple. A young Algerian, Meursault, afflicted with a sort ofaimless inertia, becomes embroiled in the petty intrigues of a local pimpand, somewhat inexplicably, ends up killing a man. Once he's imprisoned andeventually brought to trial, his crime, it becomes apparent, is not so much the arguably defensible murder he has committed as it is his deficient character. The trial's proceedings are absurd, a parsing of incidentaltrivialities--that Meursault, for instance, seemed unmoved by his own mother's death andthen attended a comic movie the evening after her funeral are twoostensibly damning facts--so that the eventual sentence the jury issues isboth ridiculous and inevitable. Meursault remains a cipher nearly to the story's end--dispassionate, clinical,disengaged from his own emotions. "She wanted to know if I loved her," hesays of his girlfriend. "I answered the same way I had the last time, thatit didn't mean anything but that I probably didn't." There's a latentominousness in such observations, a sense that devotion is nothing morethan self-delusion. It's undoubtedly true that Meursault exhibits anextreme of resignation; however, his confrontation with "the gentleindifference of the world" remains as compelling as it was when Camus firstrecounted it. --Ben Guterson Customer Reviews (558)
a well-ordered little masterpiece
Perfect condition
falling bolders
A first person look into the mind of a sociopath
To stay, or to make a move--it came to much the same. |

If there is meaning here, a lot of prerequisites are required...
Is it philosphy?or literature?Whichever, it is dated . . . yet worthwhile.

Editorial Review Product Description As the novel follows the protagonist, Patrice Mersault, to his victim's house -- and then, fleeing, in a journey that takes him through stages of exile, hedonism, privation, and death -it gives us a glimpse into the imagination of one of the great writers of the twentieth century. For here is the young Camus himself, in love with the sea and sun, enraptured by women yet disdainful of romantic love, and already formulating the philosophy of action and moral responsibility that would make him central to the thought of our time. Translated from the French by Richard Howard Customer Reviews (22)
Beautiful , flawed absurdity.
Better than The Stranger
It takes time to live,like any work of art,life needs to be thought about.
