The Stranger
(Albert Camus)

Publicidade
This French existential novel tells the story of Meursault, a white Frenchman living in Algeria. The book begins with the death of Meursault's mother and the subsequent funeral, during which he finds it impossible to cry. He continues about his life, including intricate descriptions of his surroundings and his daily activities. During the time following his mother's death, he becomes intimate with a woman named Marie and befriends a neighbor named Ray. The three go to a beach where they enjoy the waves and the sand, but Meursault is bothered by the sun.

On the beach, they are confronted with three Arabs, the brothers of Ray's former mistress. Meursault shoots one of them, ostensibly in cold blood, claiming to do it because the sun is in his eyes. The trial at first seems trivial, a white man killing in Arab could easily be expected to get off. However, the prosecutor points to Meursault's lack of remorse and notes his lack of emotion at his mother's funeral. This sways the jury who sentence Meursault to death.

As he awaits his own execution, Meursault remains unemotional. He declares in the end only his wish that a large crowd will attend his funeral.
