About this product

Product Information

With the intrigue of a psychological thriller, The Stranger --Camus's masterpiece--gives us the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach. With an Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie; translated by Matthew Ward. Behind the subterfuge, Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd" and describes the condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life. " 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 First published in 1946; now in translation by Matthew Ward.

    Item not as described. Poor condition, heavily used, low quality. Spine torn, cover ripped, writing in margins, highlighting almost every page. 7 days after contacting seller and still no return label. Waste of time. Poor seller.

    Well done

    The book is in pristine condition and has no seeable blemishes save a few bent pages. In full the book is exactly what I expected, and if it weren't for the different cover, I'd have been entirely happy with this purchase, although I can't say I bother. Camus is well worth the minor inconveniences, which- in honesty- are not important compared to the experience. I'd recommend it to anyone.
