The Stranger - Albert Camus, New Edition (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)

Albert Camus's landmark existentialist novel traces the aftermath of a shocking crime and the man whose fate is sealed with one rash and foolhardy act. The Stranger presents readers with a new kind of protagonist, a man unable to transcend the tedium and inherent absurdity of everyday existence in a world indifferent to the struggles and strivings of its human denizens. Complete with an introduction from master literary scholar Harold Bloom, this new edition of full-length critical essays includes a chronology, bibliography, and index for easy reference.
