The Outsider

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".

'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.

读后感

在书店工作期间，最快乐的时候，便是与对胃口的人聊起彼此都喜欢的书的时候。 比如某天看到有姑娘在向她的朋友推荐加缪的《局外人》，边上的我憋不住接了一句：“这本书我也很喜欢。我曾经在三个月里连看了三遍，包括两个译本，仍意犹未尽，想再去看郭宏安的译本。” 那姑娘叫...  

人常常会在一些很平凡的时候静下心来，停下脚步思考，看书，学习，探索生命的意义。 当看到一篇教人如何在更快更高效读书的文章后，我开始陷入质疑，读书真的需要那样争分夺秒和仪式感吗？许多名人确实都把读书列入每日计划中，更有甚者比如李欣频曾在一年的365天里每天读一本...

你有没有尝试过从悬崖绝壁的顶端往下跳？ 应该没有。 为什么？ 因为你会死。我也会，所有人都会。 答案既简单又神秘深奥。在我们同狩猎采集为生的祖先分道扬镳的几千年里，许多人在不停地探索这些自然科学的奥秘。这些奥秘与自然界的客观规律有关。值得庆幸的是，从牛顿力学到...  

“妈妈一定感受到了解脱，因而准备再重新过一遍。任何人，任何人都没有权利哭她。而我，我现在也感到自己准备好把一切再过一遍。”——《局外人》 坦白说不知道该从什么角度来谈加缪，也不知道该怎么聊这本书，所以借鉴之前看马原的讲义，他说的是一个小说的9种写法（或者叫死...  

用户评价

读完无比悲伤的小册子。说到底，这个世界的恶意和善意都是被低估的。我们就这样活在一个泥潭里，有腐臭，自然也有白莲。For the first time in many years I felt a ridiculous desire to cry, because I could sense how much all these people hated me. 这样的经历，我想谁都有过。

还要再读一遍

最好读的英文版的叨逼叨了。

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。

虽然有很多单词不认识，但是感觉英文版比中文版好懂一点。
