The Outsider (Альберт Камю. Посторонний)
Описание и характеристики
In The Outsider (1942), his classic existentialist novel, Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to social norms. Meursault, his anti-hero, will not lie. When his mother dies, he refuses to show his emotions simply to satisfy the expectations of others. And when he commits a random act of violence on a sun-drenched beach near Algiers, his lack of remorse compounds his guilt in the eyes of society and the law. Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal.
Albert Camus portrayal of a man confronting the absurd, and revolting against the injustice of society, depicts the paradox of mans joy in life when faced with the tender indifference of the world.
Sandra Smiths translation, based on close listening to a recording of Camus reading his work aloud on French radio in 1954, sensitively renders the subtleties and dream-like atmosphere of LEtranger.
