Albert Camus

The novel The Stranger (1942) is a work by French writer Albert Camus and a key text of existentialism and the absurd. The novel is written in a concise, almost monotonous style, which enhances the feeling of alienation.

The story follows Meursault, a young Frenchman in Algeria, whose indifferent attitude towards life and emotions reflects Camus's philosophy of the absurd – the idea that life has no inherent meaning, and that the human search for meaning often meets with emptiness.

The plot begins with the death of Meursault's mother. His emotional indifference at her funeral – he shows no grief, but notices the details of his surroundings – sets the tone for the novel. He returns to Algeria, where he resumes his routine life, embarks on a romantic relationship with Marie, and befriends his friend Raymond. The key event occurs on the beach, where Meursault, under the influence of heat and tension, kills an Arab for no apparent motive, leading to his arrest.

The second part of the novel focuses on the trial, where Meursault's indifference and inability to express remorse or moral reflection become central themes. He is condemned by society not only for the murder, but also for his rejection of conformity and emotional norms. In prison, Meursault contemplates life, death, and the absurd, accepting the indifference of the universe.
