About the author:
Albert Camus (November 7, 1913-january 4, 1960), French writer, philosopher, representative of existential literature and "Absurd Philosophy". His main works include outsider and pestis. Camus won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1957. He was regarded as an existentialist until the 1950s, although he denied it many times. In 1951, after Camus published his philosophical paper the resister, it caused a debate with Sartre and others for a year, and finally broke with Sartre.
In his novels, plays, essays and treatises, Camus profoundly reveals the loneliness of people in a different world, the increasing alienation between individuals and themselves, and the inevitability of sin and death. However, while revealing the absurdity of the world, he is not desperate and depressed. He advocates rising up in absurdity and adhering to truth and justice in despair. He points out a liberal humanitarian road outside Christianity and Marxism for the world. His courage to face the bleak life and his fearless spirit of "knowing what to do" made him become the spokesman of his generation and the spiritual mentor of the next generation not only in France, but also in Europe and finally all over the world after the Second World War.
Content introduction:
The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a chronological story from the death of melsos mother to his killing of Arabs on the beach. This kind of narration has no lyrical meaning, but only the expression of melsos inner spontaneous consciousness. Therefore, there seems to be no inevitable connection between the successive events, dialogues, gestures and feelings he narrates, giving people a sense of incoherent absurdity, because other peoples gestures and words are meaningless and incomprehensible to him. The only real existence is the sea and sunshine, but nature overwhelms him and makes him kill people inexplicably: "I just feel the cymbal like sun on my head... I feel the sky spinning. There is a muggy wind on the sea, and I feel the door of heaven open and the fire pouring down. My whole body is tight, and my hands hold the gun tightly. The gun pulled..."
The outsider is one of the famous and representative works of Camuss novels, and "outsider" has thus become one of the most classic characters and the most important keywords in the whole western literature philosophy.
My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I dont know.
In The Outsider (1942), his classic existentialist novel, Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to social norms. Meursault, his anti-hero, will not lie. When his mother dies, he refuses to show his emotions simply to satisfy the expectations of others. And when he commits a random act of violence on a sun-drenched beach near Algiers, his lack of remorse compounds his guilt in the eyes of society and the law. Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal.
