An existential masterpiece from one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century In The Outsider, Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to socia l 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.

Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal. Show more
