Camus, Albert
The Stranger
When a young Algerian named Meursault kills a man, his subsequent imprisonment and trial are puzzling and absurd. The apparently amoral Meursault--who puts little stock in ideas like love and God--seems to be on trial less for his murderous actions, and more for what the authorities believe is his deficient character. Camus, awarded the Nobel Prize in 1957 was a Frenchman born and raised in Algeria.
