The Stranger: Introduction by Keith Gore - Everyman's Library Contemporary Classics Series Albert Camus 1st edition

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)

Albert Camus?s spare, laconic masterpiece about a Frenchman who murders an Arab in Algeria is famous for having diagnosed, with a clarity almost scientific, that condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life.

Possessing both the force of a parable and the excitement of a perfectly executed thriller, The Stranger is the work of one of the most engaged and intellectually alert writers of the past century.
