Albert Camus - O Estrangeiro

Meursault receives a telegram: his mother has died. Returning home after the funeral, he befriends a neighbor of dubious practices, reconnects with a former colleague with whom he becomes involved, goes to the beach – until a murder occurs.

A strange, disconcerting novel beneath an apparent stylistic simplicity, "The Stranger" plays out the fate of a man in the face of absurdity and questions the meaning of existence. Originally published in 1942, this first novel by Albert Camus has been translated into more than forty languages ​​and adapted for film by Luchino Visconti in 1967, undoubtedly being one of the masterpieces of 20th-century French literature. This edition, revised according to the text established by the author, includes a preface by António Mega Ferreira.
