The exquisite manga adaptation of one of the world's greatest 20th century fiction classics'My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know.'A stranger to society, a stranger to his own life, Meursault seems indifferent to everything. In The Outsider, Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to social norms. When his mother dies, he refuses to show his emotions simply to satisfy the expectations of others. And when he commits a random act of violence on a sun-drenched beach near Algiers, his lack of remorse compounds his guilt in the eyes of society and the law. Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal.A first in Penguin Modern Classics, Camus' classic existentialist novel is told through Ryota Kurumado's powerful artwork. Unlike previous editions of Camus' novel, Meursault and other characters' emotions are drawn out through stunning illustrations and seen for the first time. A rare and challenging feat, Kurumado's manga adaptation makes a novel first published in 1942 feel contemporary.
