With the intrigue of a psychological thriller, The Stranger—Camus's masterpiece—gives us the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach. With an Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie; translated by Matthew Ward.

Behind the subterfuge, Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd" and describes the condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life.

“The Stranger is a strikingly modern text and Matthew Ward’s translation will enable readers to appreciate why Camus’s stoical anti-hero and ­devious narrator remains one of the key expressions of a postwar Western malaise, and one of the cleverest exponents of a literature of ambiguity.” —from the Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie

First published in 1946; now in translation by Matthew Ward.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Albert Camus

PRÉMIO NOBEL DA LITERATURA 1957

Albert Camus nasceu em Mondovi, na Argélia, a 7 de novembro de 1913. Licenciado em Filosofia, participou na Resistência francesa durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e foi então um dos fundadores do jornal de esquerda Combat. Em 1957 foi consagrado com o Prémio Nobel da Literatura pelo conjunto de uma obra que o afirmou como um dos grandes pensadores do século XX. Dos seus títulos ensaísticos destacam-se O Mito de Sísifo (1942) e O Homem Revoltado (1951); na ficção, são incontornáveis O Estrangeiro (1942), A Peste (1947) e A Queda (1956). A 4 de janeiro de 1960, Camus morreu num acidente de viação perto de Sens. Na sua mala levava inacabado o manuscrito de O Primeiro Homem, texto autobiográfico que viria a ser publicado em 1994.
