«El extranjero» is the existentialist novel by Albert Camus, published by Debolsillo in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Algeria, the story follows Meursault, an office worker who receives the news of his mother's death with coldness and attends the funeral without showing barely any emotion. Meursault's indifference presides over his routine, his affections, and also the crime he commits, without his moral dimension ever being questioned.
The original work, L'Étranger, was published in 1942; this 2021 edition belongs to the Contemporánea collection and is translated into Spanish by María Teresa Gallego Urrutia and Amaya García Gallego.
For readers of twentieth-century classics, especially existentialist and philosophical fiction.
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.
