The Outsider by Albert Camus – Original Novel

The Outsider by Albert Camus is available as an original English edition in Morocco from Almihbara.

Meursault’s response to ordinary expectations unsettles the people around him, and an act of violence places that difference under the scrutiny of a court.

Set in French colonial Algeria, Camus’s novel connects personal detachment with questions about judgement, meaning and social conformity. Its concise form and spare voice can make the story seem simple, while the moral and historical questions remain difficult. This is the Sandra Smith translation of the work also known in English as The Stranger.
