About This Novel
"The Outsider: Selected Novels and Short Stories by Camus" is filled with a strange and grotesque atmosphere. The protagonist in the book is passive, indifferent, lazy, and indifferent to life and people, and his words and actions are very absurd. Readers can often feel a kind of indifference behind this absurdity, and at the same time they can also experience a kind of rationality, and resonate with this rationality in real life.

Life is a grand show, and I have the right to refuse to participate.
People are very sad. They are in it without knowing it. They can only drift with the tide, and they don't know where they will end up. They regard themselves as outsiders, but they don't know that they are insiders. This seems to be an inevitable tragedy of human nature.
Great
Outsiders, everyone looks at their own life like an outsider. Living in isolation...
Enter or die
outsider
Not being loved is just unlucky, but not being able to love is misfortune. One day You will calm down See your own story like an outsider Smiling and shaking his head In the end, I can only tell myself that the most reasonable way is not to force myself.
At first I felt that I had many similarities with the protagonist, but gradually I saw the ugly phenomena of human nature in this society. He is rational, but his rationality seems absurd to outsiders. But to us those are the absurd ones.
The authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear
Reading is the only way to dream while awake,
There are not so many questions, not that complicated, various meanings, just a description of life.
It is just a simple attitude towards life, and because it does not conform to the values of most people, it will be considered a heretic or a weird person. How many people will really think that they are wrong, or that there are many other ways of living? Most of it is that if you don't do it you're wrong, ridiculous, weird, and if you're right, then I'm wrong. Could I be wrong? No, because everyone in the world is like this, but you are not, so you are wrong, ignorant, crazy, sick, and unacceptable to society. You are also pitiful, ignorant, and need to be saved! Looking at you with a high gaze, full of ridicule and pity! And I have always been there, living my life seriously in my own world, caring about what I care about, liking what I like, hating what I hate, being serious and true, and persisting casually!
A very true, very real book on existentialism
If it is not a professional book or a literary work designed to reflect aesthetics, the details of the translation of a foreign book are not actually very important. Because what we are reading is not the story, but the summary. Reading literary works is different from ordinary novels. Novels focus on the description of events, and the more exciting the writing, the better. However, the description of events in literary works focuses more on psychological feelings, so it is relatively dull. When you see the back, you will suddenly understand why he did what he did. People and society are separated. Society has social rules and people have their own thoughts. When this view is polarized, it is the thought of existentialists. They can break away from the constraints of social rules and gain the greatest freedom, but there will also be a corresponding price.
