Synopsis:
In his classic existentialist novel Camus explores the predicament of the individual who is prepared to face the indifference of the universe courageously and alone.
Meursault leads an apparently unremarkable bachelor life in Algiers until he commits an act of violence. His response to the incident challenges the fundamental values of society, a set of 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.
