«El extranjero» is the novel by Albert Camus, published by Alianza Editorial Emecé in paperback (143 pages, in Spanish).
Meursault, indifferent to everything, commits an apparently motiveless crime. His trial reveals less the act than his inability to show the emotions society expects of him. Camus thus portrays the alienation of the individual, the lack of values and the absurdity of an existence without meaning.
It is number 312 in the El Libro de Bolsillo collection from Alianza Editorial Emecé. The work, translated from French, was originally published in 1942 as L'Étranger.
Regular reading in schools and universities, recommended for those starting out in twentieth-century philosophical fiction and in Albert Camus.
Albert Camus was a French philosopher, writer, and political activist. He was the recipient of the 1957 Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of 44, the second-youngest recipient in history, and the first laureate in literature born in Africa. His works include The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall and The Rebel.
