The Stranger by Albert Camus

The Stranger, which is a standard element of the French curriculum in schools, is one of the best modern French novels and one of the most recognized French books in the English-speaking world. It's the type of novel that you should read more than once to catch all of the intricacies, but it's well worth it. It's brief, but it's packed with questions that will make you reconsider your perspective on society and justice.

Camus' short story is a philosophical narrative about a man whose routine existence is upended by his mother's death. He is unaffected by her death; he does not even cry, yet society blames him for his lack of reaction, which later determines his fate.

This is Camus' best example of absurdist philosophy. According to Camus, the book's hero is doomed because he does not play the game. He is an "alien" in society, and Camus used him to criticize social conventions as well as the people of society who ostracize individuals who do not conform to them.
