Sinopse

Albert Camus's most famous and important work of fiction, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. With the emotion of a perfectly executed thriller and the power of a parable, The Stranger finds new life in this manga adaptation by Ryota Kurumado.

The Stranger tells the story of an ordinary man who confronts the absurdity of the human condition after almost unconsciously committing a crime. Meursault, who lived his freedom to come and go without realizing it, suddenly loses it, caught up in circumstances, and ends up discovering a greater and more frightening freedom in his own ability to self-determine. A reflection on freedom and the human condition that left profound marks on Western thought. One of the most beautiful narratives of this century.

Written in 1957, The Stranger is the most popular of Algerian-born Frenchman Albert Camus's books. So popular that it even spawned a song by the English rock group The Cure ("Killing an Arab"). So popular because, besides being a dry narrative of Mersault's misadventures, it is also the narrative of the misadventures of 20th-century man. A kind of autobiography of everyone. His drama can be read as the drama of any man of the century, the man who confronts the absurd, a central point of Camusian thought.

When Mersault discovers that absurdity and freedom are two sides of the same coin, and that one implies the other, he finally finds peace. It is the story of this understanding, this encounter, that Camus presents to us in this work, which presents itself as a somewhat perverse kind of self-help book.

Ryota Kurumado's manga adaptation reinvents one of the most important and influential books of the 20th century, tracing the entire oeuvre of the French-Algerian author with graphical mastery. The Stranger is a true exploration of human nature.

Sobre o autor

Albert Camus

Pertencente a uma família operária, Albert Camus (1913-1960) cresceu na Argélia, onde estudou filosofia. Filho de um francês e de uma descendente de espanhóis, o escritor perdeu o pai na Batalha do Marne, em 1914, durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Marcado pela guerra, pela fome e pela miséria, filiou-se na França ao Partido Comunista (1934-1935) e em 1940 aderiu ao movimento da Resistência contra a ocupação alemã. Ao lado de Jean-Paul Sartre foi um dos principais representantes do existencialismo francês, influenciando de modo decisivo a visão de mundo da geração de intelectuais rebeldes da época do pós-guerra. Suas obras de destaque são O estrangeiro, O mito de Sísifo, A queda, A peste, O homem revoltado, A morte feliz. Em 1957, Camus foi agraciado com o Prêmio Nobel da Literatura.
