Albert Camus

The Stranger is a novel by French writer and philosopher Albert Camus. Published in 1942, it is one of the most significant novels in twentieth-century French literature and one of the best literary depictions of the absurdity of human existence.

The story begins with the death of Meursault's mother. He does not show the expected emotions at her funeral, which causes astonishment among those around him. Instead of grieving, Meursault continues his life as usual: he begins a relationship with Marie, spends time with his friend Raymond, and enjoys simple pleasures such as swimming and sunbathing. His emotional distance becomes apparent when, on an impulse, he kills an Arab on the beach, after a conflict related to Raymond. This act, described almost mechanically, without a clear motive, is crucial for the further course of the story.

In the second part of the novel, Meursault is arrested and put on trial. The trial reveals that society condemns him not only for the murder, but also for his inability to conform to social norms - especially his lack of remorse and emotional reaction to his mother's death. Meursault's indifference and rejection of hypocrisy make him an outsider in the eyes of society. He is condemned to death, and in his final moments, faced with the inevitability, he accepts the absurdity of life and finds peace in the indifference of the universe.

Through a minimalist style and Meursault's perspective, Camus questions the meaning of life, individual freedom, and the conflict between individual truth and social expectations. The novel ends with a powerful message about embracing the absurd as a form of liberation.
