Albert Camus, with "The Stranger," offers a timeless classic of existential writing. The story begins with the phrase 'My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know.' Meursault is different. He won't lie. He won't pretend. He is true to himself. So when his mother dies and he is not upset, he refuses to mourn as society would expect. Returning to Algeria after the funeral, he continues his life normally until he becomes involved in a violent crime. At his trial, it is clear that his guilt or innocence will not be judged by what he did or did not do. He is on trial for being different - a stranger.

The story of a crime on the beach, one of the century's classic novels. 'Blood and Sand' - J.G. Ballard. 'A fascinating, dreamlike allegory' - Guardian.
