Event Description
The Stranger or The Outsider (L’Étranger) is a novel by Albert Camus published in 1942. Its theme and outlook are often cited as examples of existentialism, though Camus did not consider himself an existentialist; in fact, its content explores various philosophical schools of thought, including (most prominently and specifically) absurdism, as well as determinism, nihilism, naturalism, and stoicism.
The title character is Meursault, an Algerian ("a citizen of France domiciled in North Africa, a man of the Mediterranean, an homme du midi yet one who hardly partakes of the traditional Mediterranean culture")[2] who seemingly irrationally kills an Arab man whom he recognises in French Algiers..............

You may find information about Camus and downloadable versions of all his work (mostly in French) in the above quoted websites. But those simply looking for an English translation (by Stuart Gilbert) of the original french of l'Etranger they can try the following link.

but also a simple google search will provide the desired results
But... we are going to read The stranger, right?
