Notes

Description
"O Estrangeiro revelou e consagrou definitivamente Camus como um verdadeiro "clássico" da literatura contemporânea. Romance estranho, desconcertante sob uma aparente singeleza estilística, nele se joga o destino de um homem que viveu a vida de acordo com a sua sensibilidade e a evidencia do absurdo de existir. Enriquecida por uma penetrante introdução de Jean-Paul Satre esta obra-prima de Albert Camus é de pleno direito incluída na presente colecção que reúne as mais importantes obras deste autor. 'O Estrangeiro' revelou e consagrou definitivamente Camus como um verdadeiro "clássico" da literatura contemporânea. Romance estranho, desconcertante sob uma aparente singeleza estilística, nele se joga o destino de um homem que viveu a vida de acordo com a sua sensibilidade e a evidência do absurdo de existir."--Goodreads.com.
Description
A young Algerian, Meursault, afflicted with a sort of aimless inertia, becomes embroiled in the petty intrigues of a local pimp and, somewhat inexplicably, ends up killing a man. Once he's imprisoned and eventually brought to trial, his crime, it becomes apparent, is not so much the arguably defensible murder he has committed as it is his deficient character. In the story of an ordinary man who unwittingly gets drawn into a senseless murder on a sun-drenched Algerian beach, Camus was exploring what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd."
Language
Text in Portuguese, translated from the French.
