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.

    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.

    Great Price For This Read

    This book is titled The Stranger and as you read you will understand more. The main character seems goes through life with little or no feeling or emotions. It appears that he is like a robot going through daily activities with not much excitement or interest. He feels that people live and people die it doesn't matter one way or the other. He has become unfeeling as he goes through life and when he is drawn into a murder just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time the court tries to find him guilty because of his seemingly emotionless attitude. If you have gone through experiences in your own life and felt out of control or didn't know where to turn, etc. you may relate to the main character and how he has portrayed in this book. This is an easy read and has received ...

    One of the best books ever written

    This is one of my top 5 books of all time and this particular translation is beautiful. I buy every copy I can find just to give to my friends and my students.

    You get what you pay for.

    The book itself is in good shape but a previous owner wrote and underlined on almost every page, which I find very distracting. For the few dollars more I should of bought a new copy.
