Albert Camus (7 November 1913 – 4 January 1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist. His views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism. He wrote in his essay The Rebel that his whole life was devoted to opposing the philosophy of nihilism while still delving deeply into individual freedom. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of 44 in 1957, the second youngest recipient in history. Camus did not consider himself to be an existentialist despite usually being classified as a follower of it, even in his lifetime. In a 1945 interview, Camus rejected any ideological associations: "No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked." Camus was born in French Algeria to a Pied-Noir family and studied at the University of Algiers, from which he graduated in 1936. In 1949, Camus founded the Group for International Liaisons[6] to "denounce two ideologies found in both the USSR and the USA".
'My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know.' In The Outsider (1942), his classic existentialist novel, Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to social norms. Meursault, his anti-hero, will not lie. When his mother dies, he refuses to show his emotions simply to satisfy the expectations of others. And when he commits a random act of violence on a sun-drenched beach near Algiers, his lack of remorse compounds his guilt in the eyes of society and the law. Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal. Albert Camus' portrayal of a man confronting the absurd, and revolting against the injustice of society, depicts the paradox of man's joy in life when faced with the 'tender indifference' of the world. Sandra Smith's translation, based on close listening to a recording of Camus reading his work aloud on French radio in 1954, sensitively renders the subtleties and dream-like atmosphere of L'Étranger. Albert Camus (1913-1960), French novelist, essayist and playwright, is one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. His most famous works include The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), The Plague (1947), The Just (1949), The Rebel (1951) and The Fall (1956). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, and his last novel, The First Man, unfinished at the time of his death, appeared in print for the first time in 1994, and was published in English soon after by Hamish Hamilton. Sandra Smith was born and raised in New York City and is a Fellow of Robinson College, University of Cambridge, where she teaches French Literature and Language. She has won the French American Foundation Florence Gould Foundation Translation Prize, as well as the PEN Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize.

评分 评分重读加缪的《局外人》,我印象最深的是主人公默尔索的这一句:「人生在世,永远也不该演戏作假。」可以说这正是他人生哲学的根基,也是他的悲剧根源。 《局外人》的情节很简单,主人公默尔索是一个对生活各方面都抱有「无所谓」态度的人,一次无意的杀人让他上了法庭,最终被判...
评分這本書我讀了很久了,去年8月在上海買,在回程的20個小時硬座上讀完了這本書。或許是因為硬座疲憊,我匆匆翻讀這本書,只留下一個疏離冷漠的印象。當時不明白爲什麽這會是經典。 之後沒有重讀,但故事、或者說是印象留在了心中。現在最近半個月給自己定的讀書計劃是兩本法國哲...
评分Hate me! All this hatred makes me alive.The sky is fuzzy and same as my soul.
评分说到底我们都是站在自己的立场和喜恶上去审判别人罢了…法庭上那一场拿着相同事实进行的双标待遇现在每天都在发生。他这种游离在道德情感之外的冷漠态度和生活的本质更相似…
评分“A dreamlike sensual book filled with quiet joy in the tender indifference of the physical world.”
评分"I could only hope there would be many, many spectators on the day of my execution and that they would greet me with cries of hatred."(我想我们大部分人都是局外人。只不过,太多的规则道德传统伦理思想观念法律法规将我们层层包围,而莫尔索大概才是真正活出了自己,最真实的自己。读完了很悲伤。)
评分‘Really,nothing in my life had changed.’
