Outsider (English) (Paperback) Price: Rs. 260
'Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know'
Meursault will not lie. Unmoved by his mother's death, he refuses to satisfy the feelings of others by pretending grief. At the end of the funeral, he returns to his simple, batchelor existence in sun-bleached Algiers.
Until he is involved in a violent murder and placed on trial. Will he now, with his life in danger, give in to society's demands and 'play the game'?
Albert Camus's first novel, The Outsider received instant acclaim when it was published in 1942, by Gallimard in Paris, and has been translated into forty-five languages. In 1957 Camus became the youngest writer ever to be awarded the Nobel Prize.

Meursault will not lie..
This is one of those books, that justify humans being referred to as, the pinnacle of evolution. Brilliant. That's all you can say about it.
Read it.

A book that will leave you thinking hard
"My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know". There hasn't been a shorter and simpler statement that has better described the protagonist of any book that I have read. A dislocation from shock to indifference is gradual yet perceivable. Mersault is the real-life simplistic idealism with …

the outsider
The outsider isnt a book that can just pass. The reason why it is important is because it points out the idiocy of human judgement, i.e. the main character in the book is arrested, for the right reason. Now, his punishment is set on how he has been in the past. By past i amn't referring to his crim…

Does life has any meaning ?
This book is a very short read(around 100 pages), but it raises some profound questions. It introduces to you a philosophy called "Existentialism". Though Existentialism is much more than what the novel introduces, it's nevertheless a good starting point.

An eccentric work
The protagonist of the book, Merausult (i hope that the spelling is right) is a person who shows little emotions and is a man of less words.
This book portrays the absurdity of life. It belongs to the class of philosophy called "Existentialism". If you are not familiar with the philosophy, do r… (View complete review)

This book is a very short read(around 100 pages), but it raises some profound questions. It introduces to you a philosophy called "Existentialism". Though Existentialism is much more than what the novel introduces, it's nevertheless a good starting point.There are two parts in this novella;the protagonist lives his life without giving it much of a thought in the first part, but immerses himself into deep contemplation in the second part(after he is arrested).
This quote in the opening line of this book, sets the tone for the next 30 pages.

It belongs to the class of philosophy called "Existentialism". If you are not familiar with the philosophy, do read about it in brief before reading the book. Wikipedia is a great source.
Now to the story, everything was going on regularly in merausult life until he murdered some Arab guy. Out of nowhere this comes as a shock i was not able to explain the murder. After that the guy was convicted and sent… (Expand)

A dislocation from shock to indifference is gradual yet perceivable. Mersault is the real-life simplistic idealism with a hint of reality; a man who abides to die for the truth, the only God we deserve. This book exposes the farce of extreme philosophy that visits us during melancholy, often obscuring our perception of the truth from the truth itself.This book is a must buy for those who love things simple … (Expand)

the outsider
The outsider isnt a book that can just pass. The reason why it is important is because it points out the idiocy of human judgement, i.e. the main character in the book is arrested, for the right reason. Now, his punishment is set on how he has been in the past. By past i amn't referring to his criminal records and the likes but to how he has responded to his mother's death. She died and he didnt really care, hence he was tagged inhumane and stone-hearted. That is what determined his punishment, not his actual crime.That is what the book points out.
