The Stranger, also published in English as The Outsider, is a 1942 novella by French author Albert Camus. Its theme and outlook are often cited as examples of Camus' philosophy, absurdity, coupled with existentialism; though Camus personally rejected the latter label. The title character is Meursault, an indifferent French settler in Algeria described as "a citizen of France domiciled in North Africa, a man of the Mediterranean, one who hardly partakes of the traditional Mediterranean culture." Weeks after his mother's funeral, he kills an Arab man in French Algeria, who was involved in a conflict with one of Meursault's neighbors. Meursault is sentenced to death. The story is divided into two parts, presenting Meursault's first-person narrative view before and after the murder, respectively.
