L'Etranger has the force and fascination of myth. The outwardly
simple narrative of an office clerk who kills an Arab, 'a cause du
soleil', and finds himself condemned to death for moral
insensibility becomes, in Camus's hands, a powerful image of modern
man's impatience before Christian philosophy and conventional
social and sexual values. For this new edition Ray Davison makes
use of recent critical analysis of L'Etranger to give a full and
concise description of Camus's early philosophy of the Absurd and
the ideas and preoccupations from which the novel emerges. Davison
also discusses the developing pattern of Camus's notion of the art
of the novel, his views on 'classicism', simplicity and ambiguity,
his fondness for paradox, and his love of everyday situations which
yield to mythical interpretation.
