Daunt Books

This existential fable is the story of Meursault, the young murderer of an Arabic man in Algiers, awaiting his trial and execution. It is not this violent act however, that perplexes and horrifies society, but his total lack of feeling: he shows absolutely no remorse for his action or grief at the death of his mother. A thought-provoking, controversial novel deserving of its cult status.
