From a variety of masterfully rendered perspectives, these six stories depict people at painful odds with the world around them. A wife can only surrender to a desert night by betraying her husband. An artist struggles to honor his own aspirations as well as society's expectations of him. A missionary brutally converted to the worship of a tribal fetish is left with but an echo of his identity. Whether set in North Africa, Paris, or Brazil, the stories in Exile and the Kingdom are probing portraits of spiritual exile, and man’s perpetual search for an inner kingdom in which to be reborn. They display Camus at the height of his powers.
Now, on the 50th anniversary of the book’s publication, Carol Cosman’s new translation recovers a literary treasure for our time.
Albert Camus won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957.

我讀的是random house, Justin O'Brien 翻譯的。翻譯很好,或者說風格我喜歡。每篇都喜歡。最喜前三篇。
評分相對accessibility 而言更推薦讀Kafka。雖然說Exile and the Kingdom是對局外人的absurdity 的更為完善的闡述,但是people misread The Outsider anyway.
評分每篇的後尾都非常有衝擊力,讀到停不下來。

And yet, outside this desert neither of them, Daru knew, could have really lived. // Daru looked at the sky, the plateau, and beyond, the invisible lands stretching all the way to the sea. In this vast landscape he had loved so much, he was alone
評分一本迷幻的書…尤其是the renegade or a confused mind這篇…
