The Stranger

by Albert Camus

An emotionally detached French-Algerian office worker kills a man almost absently on a sun-drenched beach and finds himself on trial less for murder than for failing to weep at his mother's funeral. Camus's existentialist masterwork probes the absurdity of life and society's demand for false meaning.
