This book is a collection of two of the most representative novels by the famous French writer Camus. "The Outsider" reveals the paradoxes in the modern judicial process through the true feelings of a clerk. The social significance of "The Outsider" lies in its profound revelation of absurd reality. "The Plague" is a symbolic novel. In the novel, the story of the people of Ahlan City uniting to fight and defeat the plague fully explains how people should face absurd philosophy. These two works are the shining gems of Camus's literary creation and have become immortal classics in world literature in the twentieth century.
Reader comments
The book's exploration of human nature and absurdity is thought-provoking. "Today, my mother died. It could have been yesterday, I don't know." This sentence left a particularly deep impression on me. It was simple yet shocking. The author Camus is really a great writer. His words are concise and powerful, which can make people feel his love for life and care for humanity. Highly recommended!
It is recommended to skip the previous translation preface (which contains spoilers) and go directly to the text.
