Born in Algeria in 1913, Albert Camus published The Stranger–now one of the most widely read novels of this century–in 1942. Celebrated in intellectual circles, Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. On January 4, 1960, he was killed in a car accident.
A PARADE BEST BOOK OF ALL TIME
“The Stranger is a strikingly modern text and Matthew Ward’s
translation will enable readers to appreciate why Camus’s stoical
anti-hero and devious narrator remains one of the key expressions
of a postwar Western malaise, and one of the cleverest exponents of
a literature of ambiguity.” —from the Introduction by Peter
Dunwoodie
