The Stranger
Genre: Literature, Fiction, Classics
Recommended By: jonny.gotham
Rating: 9/10
“Maman died today. Or yesterday, maybe, I don’t know.” So starts Albert Camus’s story of the absurd. If I could really describe this book, I honestly would, however it’s existential nature makes it quite difficult to really pin it down. Briefly described, The Stranger is a story of Meursault, a man caught up in a senseless murder, and the progression and details of his experience in the absurdity and meaningless nature of human existence.

“One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth forever… The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to the place where he arose… The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to its circuits… All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come thither they return again.”
- Ecclesiastes 1:5
