You should purchase Ward's version. Camus' book is well written and insightful. Death has its presence throughout but in an ironic way is not feared by the protagonist (at least by the end of the book). Meaninglessness? Well, this book has many meanings due to it's literary depth. Enjoy! Well, this book didn't really do it for me. If it was meant to embody the supposed meaninglessness of life, then I guess it succeeded. Personally, I prefer the Seinfeldian version of life's meaninglessness. Still, I would recommend it to anyone who loves books. Why? Read it and submit your best guess. no reviews | add a review

This handy guide places Albert Camus' The Stranger, one of the seminal texts of existentialism and twentieth-century literature in general, in the context of French and French-Algerian history and culture. In it, Patrick McCarthy examines the way the work undermines traditional concepts of fiction. In addition, he explores the parallels and the contrasts between Albert Camus's work and that of Jean-Paul Sartre. Overall, this account provides students with a useful companion to The Stranger. This second edition boasts a revised guide to further reading and a new chapter on Camus and the Algerian War. No library descriptions found. |
