In The Outsider, 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. Format: Paperback Published: in UK in 2020 Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd Pages: 144 Language: English ISBN 13: 9780241458853 ISBN 10: 0241458854 Show more
