ALBERT CAMUS

The Outsider

'Probably no European writer of his time left so deep a mark on the imagination, and at the same time on the moral and political consciousness of his own generation, and of the next'

- Conor Cruise O'Brien

Meursault leads an apparently unremarkable bachelor life in Algiers until his involvement in a violent incident calls into question the fundamental values of society. In his classic existentialist novel Camus explores the predicament of the individual who is prepared to face the benign indifference of the universe courageously and alone. In this world, cut off from a sense of God, society has created rules so binding that any person breaking them is condemned as an alien, an outsider. For Meursault it is an insult to his reason and a betrayal of his hopes; for Camus it is the absurdity of life. To him Meursault was not 'a reject, but a poor and naked man ... who, without any heroic pretensions, agrees to die for the truth.'

'The protagonist of The Outsider is undoubtedly the best achieved of all the central Figures of the existentialist novel' 

- Listener

'The new version by Joseph Laredo of The Outsider is a remarkable achievement' 

- The Limes Educational Supplement

'He catches perfectly the flatness and the sparkle of Camus ... Joseph Laredo has made a masterpiece read like a masterpiece'

- Spectator
