Der Fremde

Book • 1942
The novella follows Meursault, an indifferent French settler in Algeria, as he navigates life after his mother's death and eventually commits a fatal shooting of an Arab man.

The story is divided into two parts, exploring Meursault's emotional detachment, his relationships, and the societal reactions to his actions.

The novel delves into existential themes, the absurdity of human existence, and the questioning of traditional moral codes.

Written during World War II, it reflects the nihilism and disillusionment of the time and continues to influence philosophical and literary discourse.
