Berdikari - Camus; The Stranger (English Version) - Odyssee

"The Stranger" is a thought-provoking novel that follows the life of Meursault, an emotionally detached Algerian living in French colonial Algiers. The story begins with the news of his mother's death, and Meursault's seemingly indifferent response to her passing sets the tone for the novel's exploration of existentialism and the absurdity of life. As Meursault navigates his mundane routines and interactions, he becomes entangled in a series of events that lead to a senseless act of violence on a beach. The subsequent trial serves as a backdrop to delve into themes of alienation, meaninglessness, and the clash between societal norms and individual authenticity. Camus's narrative, written in spare and precise prose, unravels Meursault's inner turmoil as he confronts the inevitability of death and the futility of seeking traditional explanations for existence. "The Stranger" challenges conventional notions of morality and invites readers to confront the absurdity of life while pondering the boundaries between personal autonomy and societal expectations.
