A PARADE BEST BOOK OF ALL TIME
“The Stranger is a strikingly modern text and Matthew Ward’s
translation will enable readers to appreciate why Camus’s stoical
anti-hero and devious narrator remains one of the key expressions
of a postwar Western malaise, and one of the cleverest exponents of
a literature of ambiguity.” —from the Introduction by Peter
Dunwoodie
