More about the book
Exploring existentialist and absurdist themes, the novel is set in colonial Algeria and centers on Meursault, a man deeply alienated from societal norms. His indifference and nihilism lead him to confront the absurdity of life and the inevitability of death. The narrative unfolds dramatically during a courtroom trial, where his emotional detachment becomes the focus. Through Meursault's isolation and disregard for conventional morality, the story offers a profound examination of human existence and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent world.
