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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePenguin Clothbound Classics are bound in cloth and not paper. The design is stamped on in foil, and each cover repeats one small icon taken from the story. The series was designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith, who took her inspiration from Victorian bookbinding. Each book has coloured endpapers and a ribbon bookmark. They make beautiful presents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foil can rub off if the books are stacked tightly, so give them a little room on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Albert Camus\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eModern \u0026amp; contemporary fiction (post c 1945), Classic fiction (pre c 1945), Fiction in translation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 2 Jun 2022 by Penguin Books Ltd.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Camus, Albert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55718445842810,"sku":"9780241554401","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9780241554401.jpg?v=1754414158","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/pl\/products\/the-outsider-9780241554401","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
