Albert Camus

When a young Algerian named Meursault kills a man, his subsequent imprisonment and trial are puzzling and absurd. The apparently amoral Meursault--who puts little stock in ideas like love and God--seems to be on trial less for his murderous actions, and more for what the authorities believe is his deficient character.

Esta obra transcurre en Argelia, a mediados del siglo XX, y narra la historia de Meursault, quien, pese a cualquier acontecimiento, sea bueno o malo, se muestra como un ser indiferente a la realidad por resultarle absurda e inabordable. Todo comienza con la muerte de su madre y así, Meursault, quien se encontraba por el momento en la ciudad de Argel, y en donde desempeña un trabajo sin ambición y sin futuro, viviendo una vida sin metas ni deseos,...

NOBEL PRIZE–WINNING AUTHOR
One of the most widely read novels of all time—from one of the best-known writers of all time—about a lawyer from Paris who brilliantly illuminates the human condition.
