The classic literary masterpiece The Stranger (Vintage International) is a story about an Algerian, Meursault, the titular character who commits a murder after attending his mothers funeral. His understanding of the world, his emotional spectrum, and the general absurdities of the time all combine to form a compelling read.The story is aptly divided into two riveting sections, both told from the perspective of Meursault, who gives us his views before the murder in the first section and later walks us through his state of mind after the murder in the second section. The two parts in this thrilling novel encompass the protagonists mindset through the ordeal of grieving for his mothers death while also coming face to face with his own moral compass for committing a murder.The Stranger (Vintage International) is often cited as one of the finest examples of the philosophy of the absurd. The sense of culture and various human values interwoven during the turbulent pre-modern era is also best captured in the contents of this novel. This books was published by Vintage as reissue edition in 1989 and is available in paperback. Key Features: This reissue edition is translated by Matthew Ward.
