Have you ever felt like an outsider, disconnected from the world and its expectations? Explore what happens when you refuse to play society's games and live by your own code, even when it leads to shocking consequences and forces you to confront life's ultimate questions. Discover the story of Meursault, a man who remains emotionally detached even at his mother's funeral and after committing a senseless act of violence. Through his journey, you'll unpack the core ideas of absurdism and existentialism, learning why embracing life's meaninglessness can be a powerful act of rebellion and freedom.

Albert Camus was a French philosopher, author, and journalist who was awarded the 1957 Nobel Prize in Literature for his profound and earnest literary work. Born in French Algeria, his experiences with poverty, colonialism, and the moral complexities of World War II deeply shaped his worldview. This unique background fueled his exploration of absurdity, rebellion, and the search for meaning in a meaningless world, themes powerfully crystallized in his seminal novel, The Stranger, which continues to challenge and inspire readers worldwide.
