阿爾貝·加繆(Albert Camus,1913—1960),法國聲名卓著的小說傢、散文傢和劇作傢,“存在主義”文學的大師。1957年因“熱情而冷靜地闡明瞭當代嚮人類良知提齣的種種問題”而獲諾貝爾文學奬,是有史以來最年輕的諾奬獲奬作傢之一。加繆在他的小說、戲劇、隨筆和論著中深刻地揭示齣人在異己的世界中的孤獨、個人與自身的日益異化,以及罪惡和死亡的不可避免,但他在揭示齣世界的荒誕的同時卻並不絕望和頹喪,他主張要在荒誕中奮起反抗,在絕望中堅持真理和正義,他為世人指齣瞭一條基督教和馬剋思主義以外的自由人道主義道路。他直麵慘淡人生的勇氣,他“知其不可而為之”的大無畏精神使他在第二次世界大戰之後不僅在法國,而且在歐洲並最終在全世界成為他那一代人的代言人和下一代人的精神導師。
Since it was first published in English, in 1946, Albert Camus's extraordinary first novel, The Stranger (L'Etranger), has had a profound impact on millions of American readers. Through this story of an ordinary man who unwittingly gets drawn into a senseless murder on a sun-drenched Algerian beach, Camus was exploring what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd."
Now, in an illuminating new American translation (the only English version available for more than forty years was done by a British translator), the original intent of The Stranger is made more immediate, as Matthew Ward captures in exact and lucid language precisely what Camus said and how he said it, thus giving this haunting novel a new life for generations to come.
Albert Camus, son of a working-class family, was born in Algeria in 1913. He spent the early years of his life in North Africa, where he worked at Various jobs -- in the weather bureau, in an automobile-accessory firm, in a shipping company -- to help pay for his courses at the University of Algiers. He then turned to journalism as a career. His report on the unhappy state of the Muslims of the Kabylie region aroused the Algerian government to action and brought him public notice. From 1935 to 1938 he ran the Theatre de L'Equipe, a theatrical company that produced plays by Malraux, Gide, Synge, Dostoevski, and others. During World War II he was one of the leading writers of the French Resistance and editor of Combat, then an important underground newspaper. Camus was always very active in the theater, and several of his plays have been published and produced. His fiction, including The Stranger, The Plague, The Fall, and Exile and the Kingdom; his philosophical essays, The Myth of Sisyphus and The Rebel; and his plays have assured his preeminent position in modern French letters. In 1957 Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. His sudden death on January 4, 1960, cut short the career of one of the most important literary figures of the Western world when he was at the very summit of his powers.

1、加繆生於1913年,法國人,存在主義哲學傢、文學傢,1957年也就是他44歲的時候獲得諾貝爾文學奬,這是迄今為止法國最年輕的諾貝爾文學奬得主,一般都是一些德高望重的老頭子得奬,有的快要入土瞭,有的臥病在床,隻能請人代領奬金,這是我見到的唯一一位在四十多歲就問鼎這個...
評分每隔些年讀《局外人》都會有新收獲,大概這是判斷一本書能不能列為經典的標準。 1. “活在當下”既積極也消極。好的部分,那就是容易在日常生活裏獲得快樂。比如默爾索下班後和同事一起追著卡車跑,氣喘籲籲,隻為瞭去聽卡車鏈條嘩啦聲與內燃機劈啪聲。比如沿著碼頭傍晚散步,...
評分當人一旦靜下心來,總能認真地做一些事情。比如,思考,看書,學習,寫東西。 可是人的一生是有限的,學習這件事卻是無限的。當我早晨醒來看瞭一篇豆瓣寫得關於如何有效地讀書的文章之後,我再一次陷入瞭深深地自卑當中。像已經風華絕代的貝嫂每天四點就要起床一樣,李欣頻曾...

評分我遇到局外人,在最需要他的時候。大一半本《鼠疫》讓我數日不知肉味,三年沒敢碰加繆。去尋局外人因為兩個人:西緒弗西和宋天揚。結果發現喜歡上一個曾令你無比惡心的人並非不可能。 我們是探望者與囚犯,隔著兩道鐵柵間。 ——“你會齣來,齣來就結婚!” ——“你相信嗎?...
