If the two major themes of Camus's creation and thinking throughout his life are "absurdity" and "resistance", then the philosophical essay "The Myth of Sisyphus" is Camus's most in-depth and concentrated investigation and most thorough and clear explanation of the philosophy of absurdity. Sisyphus, a Greek mythological figure who pushes rocks up mountains and performs never-ending hard labor, is undoubtedly the most vivid symbol of the absurdity of human existence; but at the same time, he is also a great example for human beings to not despair or be depressed, but to rise up against absurdity and not hesitate to fight against absurd fate to the end. Therefore, "The Myth of Sisyphus" is not so much a tragic self-portrait of the human condition as it is a victory song of liberal humanism. It constitutes a style that is both pathos and sublime. In the entire field of human culture and art, perhaps only Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny" can rival it in taste.

"The Stranger" is a famous work by the French writer Camus and one of the outstanding works of existential literature. In an objectively recorded "zero style", the book roughly describes the various absurd things that the protagonist Meursault has experienced in an absurd world, as well as his own absurd experience. From attending his mother's funeral to accidentally becoming a murderer, and then being sentenced to death, Meursault seemed indifferent to everything, existing indifferently, rationally, and irrationally. He was like a symbolic symbol, representing a universal existence, and like a blood-red beacon, highly warning. However, the emergence of the outsider phenomenon is undoubtedly bred by the world itself, and Meursault's existence has its profound external reasons.

Nobel Prize winner Camus's masterpiece (also translated as "The Stranger" and "The Stranger"); a new translation by veteran translator Shen Zhiming, with an appendix of Camus's preface when the English version was published. "I refuse to lie and accept to die for the truth." Meursault received a telegram from the nursing home informing him of his mother's death. Meursault attended the funeral in a daze, and within two days, he had sex with his girlfriend. His mother's death seemed to have no impact on him. The ordinary days continued until Meursault got involved in a dispute and shot his friend's enemy. While awaiting trial, Meursault behaves nonchalantly. When asked about the motive for the murder, he replied "It's all the sun's fault" and looked forward to facing execution amidst the curses of the crowd.

Meursault is a small clerk in Algiers. He is very empty inside and indifferent to worldly affairs. He refuses to pretend about his feelings and is indifferent to the relationships between people. He even went swimming, dated, watched funny movies and laughed the day after his mother died. During a seaside vacation, Meursault got involved in a conflict and killed someone "because of the sunshine". In the end, he was hanged - not for the crime he committed, but because he did not accept the creeds and customs approved by the law: "he did not cry when his mother was buried." "The Outsider" uses calm and restrained language to tell the story of a man who lives outside the secular rules, critically examines the freedom and equality advertised by the society at that time, and explores the absurd and hypocritical society's complete obliteration of the value of human freedom.

Meursault's mother passed away, but he did not want to cry at her funeral. Soon after, he killed an Arab on the beach. In court, the prosecutor did not elaborate on the case, but refused to let go of Meursault's failure to cry for his mother...
