This book is a famous work by French writer Camus. It is divided into two parts: the first part describes what happened to the protagonist Meursault three days after his mother died. Not only did he not show any pain for his mother's death, he even seemed indifferent; one day because of the bright sun, he impulsively shot and killed an Arab. The second part is about Meursault being arrested, tried and sentenced to death. In the court, the examining judge, the instructing priest, the prosecutor and the defense lawyer did not waste much time talking about the case itself. Instead, they repeatedly criticized his soul and personality. However, he always felt innocent and the whole process was absurd. Camus ingeniously depicted the prejudices of the human heart, the nihility of life, and the absurdity of society. The "outsider" has thus become one of the most classic characters and one of the most important keywords in Western literature and philosophy.

While discussing serious academic issues such as poetry and drama, they lamented the fate of themselves and their motherland. With the help of poems and essays, they worked together to reunify the motherland, but while they were talking loudly, they also made jokes, used vulgar words, and were informal and unrestrained. In the end, they even drafted a "peace appeal" together, but an unexpected fire reduced the gathering place and the "appeal" to ashes, and all the good wishes of the literati and lofty ideals disappeared.
