I have always
\nwanted to read one of the works of Albert Camus but did not have the courage because
\nI have read some of his essays and aren\u2019t they deep!!.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I summarized\u00a0The Stranger\u00a0a long time
\nago, with a remark I admit was highly paradoxical: “In our society any man
\nwho does not weep at his mother’s funeral runs the risk of being sentenced to
\ndeath.” I only meant that the hero of my book is condemned because he does
\nnot play the game.”<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span><\/span>Albert Camus<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

The stranger is
\na debut novel with themes best cited as examples of Camus\u2019s philosophy:
\nabsurdism, coupled with that of existentialism, even though Camus rejected the
\nlatter label.\u00a0 <\/span>The book is more like a
\nfamily car trip by thinking that only the mood is set the same as in the book
\nby reading the first few lines. The car trip tends to be interesting, about
\nlearning lessons, and a lot more. One may wonder why did I compare a book to a
\ncar trip, it\u2019s because while on a trip and peeking outside there\u2019s a vast
\nbeautiful scenery the same as while reading the book. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

The book is
\ndivided into two parts; <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

(First Part) <\/span><\/i>Meursault reacts to everything in a different but somewhat understandable
\nway. The book starts with the news of Meursault’s mother\u2019s death, to which he
\nis not sad at all. There are various instances during the ceremony showing that
\nMeursault does not get affected by his mother\u2019s death. He lives alone with no
\nattached feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

(Second Part) <\/span><\/i>It is about Meursault\u2019s jail time and waiting for his death on an exact
\ndate, which truly he does not care about. He sees the world in his own tangled,
\nlonesome way which affects his perspective too.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had only a little time
\nleft and I didn’t want to waste it on God.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

No wonder why
\nthere is a huge division among the readers for \u201cThe stranger\u201d and it is truly a
\nmasterpiece(for me) in French literature. Oh and a precautionary warning for
\nsensitive readers \u00a0<\/span>that this book will
\nnot be your cup of tea <\/span><\/p>\n
