Albert Camus (7 November 1913 – 4 January 1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist. 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. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of 44 in 1957, the second youngest recipient in history. Camus did not consider himself to be an existentialist despite usually being classified as a follower of it, even in his lifetime. In a 1945 interview, Camus rejected any ideological associations: "No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked." Camus was born in French Algeria to a Pied-Noir family and studied at the University of Algiers, from which he graduated in 1936. In 1949, Camus founded the Group for International Liaisons[6] to "denounce two ideologies found in both the USSR and the USA".
'My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know.' In The Outsider (1942), his classic existentialist novel, Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to social norms. Meursault, his anti-hero, will not lie. 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. Albert Camus' portrayal of a man confronting the absurd, and revolting against the injustice of society, depicts the paradox of man's joy in life when faced with the 'tender indifference' of the world. Sandra Smith's translation, based on close listening to a recording of Camus reading his work aloud on French radio in 1954, sensitively renders the subtleties and dream-like atmosphere of L'Étranger. Albert Camus (1913-1960), French novelist, essayist and playwright, is one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. His most famous works include The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), The Plague (1947), The Just (1949), The Rebel (1951) and The Fall (1956). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, and his last novel, The First Man, unfinished at the time of his death, appeared in print for the first time in 1994, and was published in English soon after by Hamish Hamilton. Sandra Smith was born and raised in New York City and is a Fellow of Robinson College, University of Cambridge, where she teaches French Literature and Language. She has won the French American Foundation Florence Gould Foundation Translation Prize, as well as the PEN Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize.
“妈妈一定感受到了解脱,因而准备再重新过一遍。任何人,任何人都没有权利哭她。而我,我现在也感到自己准备好把一切再过一遍。”——《局外人》 坦白说不知道该从什么角度来谈加缪,也不知道该怎么聊这本书,所以借鉴之前看马原的讲义,他说的是一个小说的9种写法(或者叫死...
评分1、加缪生于1913年,法国人,存在主义哲学家、文学家,1957年也就是他44岁的时候获得诺贝尔文学奖,这是迄今为止法国最年轻的诺贝尔文学奖得主,一般都是一些德高望重的老头子得奖,有的快要入土了,有的卧病在床,只能请人代领奖金,这是我见到的唯一一位在四十多岁就问鼎这个...
评分在书店工作期间,最快乐的时候,便是与对胃口的人聊起彼此都喜欢的书的时候。 比如某天看到有姑娘在向她的朋友推荐加缪的《局外人》,边上的我憋不住接了一句:“这本书我也很喜欢。我曾经在三个月里连看了三遍,包括两个译本,仍意犹未尽,想再去看郭宏安的译本。” 那姑娘叫...

评分每隔些年读《局外人》都会有新收获,大概这是判断一本书能不能列为经典的标准。 1. “活在当下”既积极也消极。好的部分,那就是容易在日常生活里获得快乐。比如默尔索下班后和同事一起追着卡车跑,气喘吁吁,只为了去听卡车链条哗啦声与内燃机噼啪声。比如沿着码头傍晚散步,...
“A dreamlike sensual book filled with quiet joy in the tender indifference of the physical world.”
评分Between the certainty I have of my existence and the content I try to give that assurance, the gap will never be filled. For ever I shall be a stranger to myself. 哎
评分重读经典。人在有些时候读什么都像在读自己。如果注定死亡,何时何种方式重要吗,活着值得吗,死亡可怕吗,或者说他者的命运究竟与你何干?与死亡无比的接近后重新领会死生,我们是否有权利为他者的死哭泣?
评分读着读着就觉得我的生活好像不可避免地在向这个方向坠落。
评分最好读的英文版的叨逼叨了。
