About this product

Product Information

With the intrigue of a psychological thriller, The Stranger --Camus's masterpiece--gives us the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach. With an Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie; translated by Matthew Ward. Behind the subterfuge, Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd" and describes the condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life. " The Stranger is a strikingly modern text and Matthew Ward's translation will enable readers to appreciate why Camus's stoical anti-hero and ­devious narrator remains one of the key expressions of a postwar Western malaise, and one of the cleverest exponents of a literature of ambiguity." --from the Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie First published in 1946; now in translation by Matthew Ward.

    Received my order and the strings in the package weren't the right brand. Contacted the seller and the issue was quickly resolved. That aside, my items were packaged well and the strings I received looked great and were of good quality. For the price, condition and customer service, A+ Recommend!

    Item as described and fine value. Packaging was secure. Arrived safely. It was so good to hear Mike again after all these years! I had this on an 8 track many years ago; and it is so good to have it again!

    The book is a good selection of ME's songs. Unfortunately it got damaged in the mail as it was posted in an ordinary paper envelope with no protection. The seller was very fair and refunded. I just wish she had packed it better as a mint copy got badly bent out of shape. So poor marks for packaging but top marks for customer service.

    Well done

    The book is in pristine condition and has no seeable blemishes save a few bent pages. In full the book is exactly what I expected, and if it weren't for the different cover, I'd have been entirely happy with this purchase, although I can't say I bother. Camus is well worth the minor inconveniences, which- in honesty- are not important compared to the experience. I'd recommend it to anyone.

    Cover of the book was different from the one advertised. Book overall is good. Secondhand but looks new.

    Not completely finished with the book but it is interesting. I find the narrator quite funny.
