The Stranger - Camus, Albert

The Stranger by Camus, Albert

Format: Trade Paperback

Published by Vintage, 1989

With the intrigue of a psychological thriller, The Stranger-Camus's masterpiece-gives us the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach. With an Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie; translated by Matthew Ward.

Behind the subterfuge, 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; now in English translation by Matthew Ward.
