WRITER
ALBERT CAMUS

(November 7, 1913-Villeblevin, January 4, 1960) was an Algerian-born French novelist, essayist, playwright,
philosopher and journalist. His conceptions were formed under the influence of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and
German existentialism.
The formation of philosophical thought known as absurdity has been attributed to him, although in his text "The
enigma" Camus himself denies the label of "prophet of the absurd." It has been frequently associated with
existentialism, although Camus always considered himself alien to it.Despite his conscious departure from
nihilism, he rescues from him the idea of individual freedom.
He was part of the French Resistance during the German occupation, and was associated with the postwar
libertarian movements. In 1957, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for "a set of work that highlights
the problems that arise in the consciousness of men today."
Analysis of The Stranger

The novel The Stranger tells the story of an emotionally distant amoral young man
named Meursault. He doesn't cry at his mother's funeral, doesn't believe in God,
and kills a man he barely knows for no discernible reason. For his crime,
Meursault is considered a threat to society and sentenced to death. When he
comes to accept the world's gentle indifference, he finds peace with himself and
with the society that pursues him.
Camus's absurd philosophy implies that moral orders have no rational or natural
basis. However, Camus did not approach the world with moral indifference, and
he believed that the lack of a higher meaning in life would not necessarily drive
him to despair. On the contrary, Camus was a persistent humanist. He stands out
for his faith in the dignity of man in the face of what he saw as a cold and
indifferent universe.
