«The Outsider» is the existentialist novel by Albert Camus, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (128 pages, in English).
The novel follows Meursault, an office worker living in Algiers whose apparent indifference to his mother's death and to a violent act makes him a stranger to society. Through his story, Camus raises the absurdity of existence and the tension between the individual and social conventions.
Originally written in French and published in 1942 as «L'Étranger», this is Albert Camus's first novel.
For readers interested in existentialism, absurdist literature, and twentieth-century classics; English edition.
