I explained to him that I had very little time left. I didn’t want to waste it on things that didn’t interest me.
I may not have been sure about what really did interest me, but I was absolutely sure about what didn’t.

The Stranger is a short but powerful novel written by Albert Camus, first published in 1942. It tells the story of a man named Meursault, who seems emotionally distant and disconnected from the world around him.
The story begins with the death of Meursault’s mother. Unlike most people, he does not cry or show sadness. This shocks others and makes them judge him. Later in the story, he gets involved in a violent situation and kills a man. During his trial, the court focuses more on his cold personality than the actual crime. In the end, he is sentenced to death. The book ends with Meursault accepting his fate, realizing that life has no clear meaning — and that’s okay.
The main theme of the novel is “absurdism” – the idea that life is often without meaning and humans must accept this without relying on religion or traditional beliefs. Camus shows that people are sometimes punished not for what they do, but for not behaving the way society expects.
I would only recommend The Stranger to people who are really interested in existential philosophy, or who want to read something different and challenging. If you like fast-paced stories, strong emotions, or realistic characters, this book may not be the right choice.
