The theme of this novel by Albert Camus is the persistent search for happiness even when the price of it is crime.
The adventures of the hero, Meursault (the same name as the protagonist of The Stranger), are fueled by the experience of a difficult and passionate youth - poverty, illness, travels in central Europe and Italy, life in the company of his three friends in 'The House in Front of the World' ('a house where you do not have fun but a house where you feel happy') but also the solitary life at the foot of Mount Sinuhe.
The Happy Death was written in the 1930s but published after the author’s death.
