Albert Camus (7 November 1913 – 4 January 1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist. His views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism. He wrote in his essay The Rebel that his whole life was devoted to opposing the philosophy of nihilism while still delving deeply into individual freedom. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of 44 in 1957, the second youngest recipient in history. Camus did not consider himself to be an existentialist despite usually being classified as a follower of it, even in his lifetime. In a 1945 interview, Camus rejected any ideological associations: "No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked." Camus was born in French Algeria to a Pied-Noir family and studied at the University of Algiers, from which he graduated in 1936. In 1949, Camus founded the Group for International Liaisons[6] to "denounce two ideologies found in both the USSR and the USA".

异客•异乡 ——评《异乡人》 文|杜子腾 像每一位阅读此书的读者一样,从其第一句话开始,我们就被一股凝练的荒诞感所吸引。“今天,妈妈走了。又或者是昨天,我也不清楚”,一面是亲昵的口语化表达的“妈妈”,是一种内心的全然外化,另一面是“我不清楚,她哪天走了”,以...
评分重读加缪的《局外人》,我印象最深的是主人公默尔索的这一句:「人生在世,永远也不该演戏作假。」可以说这正是他人生哲学的根基,也是他的悲剧根源。 《局外人》的情节很简单,主人公默尔索是一个对生活各方面都抱有「无所谓」态度的人,一次无意的杀人让他上了法庭,最终被判...
评分我承认,在这篇书评落笔之前,我踌躇许久。 对一本被奉为经典的书来说,若不是读过两遍以上、反复咀嚼,这样的评论写出来都会让我很惶恐。怕因我的肤浅和主观而导致对经典的亵渎。即使我人微言轻,但也实在知道当谨慎自己所发的言语。 而且,对性格入世且积极乐观的笔者来说,...
评分每隔些年读《局外人》都会有新收获,大概这是判断一本书能不能列为经典的标准。 1. “活在当下”既积极也消极。好的部分,那就是容易在日常生活里获得快乐。比如默尔索下班后和同事一起追着卡车跑,气喘吁吁,只为了去听卡车链条哗啦声与内燃机噼啪声。比如沿着码头傍晚散步,...

'My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know.' In The Outsider (1942), his classic existentialist novel, Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to social norms. Meursault, his anti-hero, will not lie. When his mother dies, he refuses to show his emotions simply to satisfy the expectations of others. And when he commits a random act of violence on a sun-drenched beach near Algiers, his lack of remorse compounds his guilt in the eyes of society and the law. Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal. Albert Camus' portrayal of a man confronting the absurd, and revolting against the injustice of society, depicts the paradox of man's joy in life when faced with the 'tender indifference' of the world. Sandra Smith's translation, based on close listening to a recording of Camus reading his work aloud on French radio in 1954, sensitively renders the subtleties and dream-like atmosphere of L'Étranger. Albert Camus (1913-1960), French novelist, essayist and playwright, is one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. His most famous works include The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), The Plague (1947), The Just (1949), The Rebel (1951) and The Fall (1956). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, and his last novel, The First Man, unfinished at the time of his death, appeared in print for the first time in 1994, and was published in English soon after by Hamish Hamilton. Sandra Smith was born and raised in New York City and is a Fellow of Robinson College, University of Cambridge, where she teaches French Literature and Language. She has won the French American Foundation Florence Gould Foundation Translation Prize, as well as the PEN Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize.
It's sarcastic that one must prove his love to his own mother and believe in God and there is a new world upcoming after stepping towards guillotine. Camus used simple words to protest rules in normality overlooked. If one disobeys, he'd be sentenced to death. The protagonist is a normal man with normal opinions only died of despair in deep heart.
评分“Aujourd’hui, maman est morte. “
评分全程真的有种局外人冷眼旁观的感觉,始终悬在空中,感受夏日的炙烤,但却落不下来。
评分读着读着就觉得我的生活好像不可避免地在向这个方向坠落。
