Sinopsis
Published in 1942, The Outsider was Camus' first novel. The main character is Meursault, who holds no real opinion, nor does anything seem to effect him. From the dark horizon of my future a sort of slow, persistent breeze had been blowing toward me, all my life long, from the years that were to come. and on its way that breeze had leveled out all the ideas that people tried to foist on me in the equally unreal years i then was living through."
