"The Stranger is as beautiful as any work of art can hope to be."

"Albert Camus' The Stranger is one of the most widely read writings in the world. It is certainly one of the most important and influential stories ever produced."

"THE STRANGER is one of those timeless classics. Albert Camus is dealing with truth here, and truth, like life, is not for everyone. And neither is this story. Camus' pitifully honest anti-hero Meursault finds himself on the wrong end of French justice following a series of indifferent but seemingly innocent decisions that end in a senseless murder. The real mystery of the novel: Why did he do it? Who is Monsieur Meursault, really? "
