Outsider
About This Novel
This book is a novella. This book centers on the image of Meursault, a small clerk, and tells the absurd story of how he was legally charged with manslaughter, but was sentenced to death for not showing emotion at his mother's funeral. From the perspective of an "outsider" who is incompatible with society, Camus uses objective and calm narrative techniques to profoundly reveal the absurd nature of the world through a moral trial that Meursault experienced in the name of law. At the same time, this book is also a modern literary work, describing the protagonist's various experiences and inner world in daily life. The novel delves into the complexity of interpersonal relationships and an individual's position in society, encouraging readers to understand and accept the world around them with an open mind.

According to the logic of this book, apart from superheroes and saviors, all of us are "outsiders". We're just a bunch of doomed tourists in the real world, each moving through various deals and disguises. As an outsider, nothing is worth caring about, including death.
May everyone be treated with kindness
This world is full of sin, whether you, me, or Meursault, this world embraces each other with equal tenderness and indifference.
