As a German scholar who experienced two world wars (and later moved to Switzerland and became a naturalized citizen), Hesse went straight to the point and spoke out against the patriotic atmosphere that was generally hijacked by nationalism in Germany.

The narrator stands as a spokesman for an indigenous nation that has been overrun and abused by imperialist colonizers. He recalls the deep beauty of his homeland in a lyrical and stream-of-consciousness way, and accuses imperialists and chauvinists, mainly in the Western world, of exploiting and alienating the simple creatures of this nation. When the indigenous civilization met the Western civilization, under the strong impact of the economy, military, technology and civilization of the Western industrial civilization, the indigenous civilization retreated and died. People were forced to leave their homeland, their familiar production methods and daily routines, and go to the Western civilized world to earn wages and make a living. While describing this change, the author also brings up a global dilemma we are facing today: forced migration.

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.
