Born in Algeria in 1913, Albert Camus published The Stranger–now one of the most widely read novels of this century–in 1942. Celebrated in intellectual circles, Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. On January 4, 1960, he was killed in a car accident.
Albert Camus’s spare, laconic masterpiece about a Frenchman who murders an Arab in Algeria is famous for having diagnosed, with a clarity almost scientific, that condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life.
Possessing both the force of a parable and the excitement of a perfectly executed thriller, The Stranger is the work of one of the most engaged and intellectually alert writers of the past century.
Translated by Matthew Ward
"Matthew Ward has done Camus and us a great service. This is now a different and better novel for its American readers."--Chicago Sun Times

評分偉大的(隻能用這個詞形容)作品,人生的每個階段看都有種顛覆世界觀的震撼!局外人從初一第一次接觸,就陪伴瞭我所有生活中的黑暗麵,這段時間又不停重溫93英文譯本,寫讀書筆記時不知不覺幾乎要把正本書都抄完。隻有這種時候會覺得如果學瞭法語就太好瞭。
評分100% high school favorite!
