The Stranger

---

In The Stranger, Camus's gripping psychological thriller, we follow an ordinary man who is unexpectedly pulled into a senseless murder on a beach in Algeria. This edition includes an Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie and is translated by Matthew Ward.

Through the narrative, Camus delves into what he called "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd," capturing the reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that marked much of the twentieth century.

“The Stranger is a remarkably modern text, and Matthew Ward’s translation allows readers to grasp why Camus’s stoic anti-hero and cunning narrator epitomize the postwar Western malaise and serve as brilliant representatives of ambiguous literature.” —from the Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie.
