Albert Camus (1913-1960) var fransk forfatter født i Algeriet og hørte sammen med Sartre til hovedkræfterne bag udviklingen af den moderne eksistentialistiske filosofi og litteratur. Han fik nobelprisen i 1957 og regnes i dag for en af de betydeligste forfattere i det 20. århundrede.
Den fremmede fra 1942 anses for hans væsentligste roman og er et af de mest gennemanalyserede værker i verdenslitteraturen. Her skildres en ung fransk kontorist, der udviser en total mangel på interesse for almindelige sociale konventioner og normer. Han lever tilfældigt, kun optaget af de umiddelbare sanseindtryk og behov. Under tilfældige omstændigheder skyder han en mand, som han egentlig ikke har noget udestående med. I den efterfølgende retssag baseres dommen i højere grad på hans ligegyldighed frem for på det drab, han har begået. Det er eksistentielle temaer om det fremmedgjorte menneske og de absurde livsvilkår, der behandles i en dobbelttydig komposition. Romanen er bedragerisk enkel, men også multifacetteret og uigennemskuelig som en sort diamant. Hver læsning giver en ny indsigt og en ny usikkerhed. Det er Hemingway og Kafka i én bog.- Jørn Boisen, Kr. Dagblad

"This book will trip you out. And keep you thinking well after you've finished. The main character is aggravating and hard to connect with. At the same time, his thoughts are haunting and make some sense. Really enjoyed this overall. Camus is a brilliant writer. " — Chelsea (4 out of 5 stars)

" This was a reread, the first time I was in college and I didn't want to rate it based on old memories. I feel that this is one of the classics of existentialism. "
" People don't kill people, guns kill people. "
" bret easton ellis: this is how it's done "
" Unpleasant, harrowing and shattering at the end of the novel. I was not surprised by its bleakness, but none-the-less it was troubling. I suppose that's the whole point really. A troubling story, well told. "
" Classic! read it all in one sitting... "
" This is one of the most curious and bizzare books I have ever read. The sometimes annoying passivity of the narrator provides an interesting and unique insight into his and the author's view of the world. "
" "Those who write clearly have readers. Those who write obscurely have commentators." Albert Camus. Sometimes, on a busy week, I feel that all novels should be like this - short, wise, meaty with concept, and true "
Albert Camus (1913–1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957. His views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism. He wrote in his essay The Rebel that his whole life was devoted to opposing the philosophy of nihilism while still delving deeply into individual freedom.
