\"The Stranger\" (French: L\'Étranger, also published in English as \"The Outsider\") is a 1942 novella written by French author Albert Camus. The story follows Meursault, an indifferent settler in French Algeria, and delves into the philosophy of existentialism and the absurdity of human existence. The novel is a seminal work that explores the nakedness of man faced with the absurd and is situated in the mid-20th century, responding to the philosophical and intellectual movement of existentialism.
Camus\'s writing style, characterized by its sparse and detached nature, serves to emphasize the existential outlook on life that permeates the novel. The protagonist, Meursault, is depicted as detached and apathetic, navigating life with a sense of indifference to moral codes. The novel has been described as psychologically detached, emotionally challenging, and morally thought-provoking, evoking a range of responses from readers.
\"The Stranger\" has been praised for its ability to confront the void and the philosophy of absurdism, positing a fundamental conflict between humans\' inherent desire for meaning and the indifferent, chaotic universe. It encourages people to live authentically and defiantly in spite of the Absurd, making it a thought-provoking and impactful work that speaks to the condition of modern existence.
