The Stranger

Author: Albert Camus

In “The Stranger” by Albert Camus, we follow Meursault, an emotionally detached French Algerian whose life spirals after the death of his mother. Reflecting on his mundane existence, Meursault makes a series of seemingly irrational decisions, culminating in a shocking act of violence. Despite his stoic exterior, I found myself fascinated by the profound questions he raises about life’s absurdity and our search for meaning. An evocative and unforgettable exploration of existentialism.

In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
