The plot is simple. A young Algerian, Meursault, afflicted with a sort of aimless inertia, becomes embroiled in the petty intrigues of a local pimp and, somewhat inexplicably, ends up killing a man. Once he's imprisoned and eventually brought to trial, his crime, it becomes apparent, is not so much the arguably defensible murder he has committed as it is his deficient character. The trial's proceedings are absurd, a parsing of incidental trivialities--that Meursault, for instance, seemed unmoved by his own mother's death and then attended a comic movie the evening after her funeral are two ostensibly damning facts--so that the eventual sentence the jury issues is both ridiculous and inevitable.
Meursault remains a cipher nearly to the story's end--dispassionate, clinical, disengaged from his own emotions. "She wanted to know if I loved her," he says of his girlfriend. "I answered the same way I had the last time, that it didn't mean anything but that I probably didn't." There's a latent ominousness in such observations, a sense that devotion is nothing more than self-delusion. It's undoubtedly true that Meursault exhibits an extreme of resignation; however, his confrontation with "the gentle indifference of the world" remains as compelling as it was when Camus first recounted it. --Ben Guterson

Kundenrezensionen
It's a novel about the absurd and the meaningless but also about the indifference of an individual who lives alone, doesn't have any real friends, who knows no happiness and no grief, who really doesn't care about anything or anyone. Though he has a kind of sympathy for a few people he knows, it doesn't mean much because he's a stranger about social life. But he doesn't care about himself either and this is maybe the strangest thing in this novel. He refused an important promotion at his work. It made no difference once again.
When on a hot sunday afternoon he walks with a friend along the beach, two Arabs are walking toward them in a hostile manner. Meursault shoots one of them. "I don't know why I did it, it had no importance at all".
From now on his life will change dramatically.
I read this book when I was 20 years old as a freshman. I was still searching for the meaning of life (still do) , my place in the world and also a light at the end of the tunel that I could follow. And man, what a blast..... It took me half a year to overcome it. I lost interest in life, I became so passive and numb that nothing really mattered. I almost dropped out of school. Camus book reveiled to me that there are really no answers out there, no purpose , no treatment and for that reason NO ACTION should be taken.
All of our agonies and strugles for the truth of our existence that we desperetaly radiate to our universe just simply bounce back. There is noone out there to answer.And for that reason our existence itself has no meaning. It is absurd (paralogos in Greek) !
I guess I took every word of the book literally. Now, after many years from the first reading I have come to terms with the absurdity of life, I know that there is nothing that I can do, but at least I will try to live a good life whatever that means. The book in retrospect made me a little bit wiser but I cant afford to follow it. It is self destructing.
So be careful with this book, it could be a time bomb. That is the magnitude of its brilliance. A masterpiece.
