图书描述

The Stranger is not merely one of the most widely read novels of the 20th century, but one of the books likely to outlive it. Written in 1946, Camus's compelling and troubling tale of a disaffected, apparently amoral young man has earned a durable popularity (and remains a staple of U.S. high school literature courses) in part because it reveals so vividly the anxieties of its time. Alienation, the fear of anonymity, spiritual doubt--all could have been given a purely modern inflection in the hands of a lesser talent than Camus, who won the Nobel Prize in 1957 and was noted for his existentialist aesthetic. The remarkable trick of The Stranger, however, is that it's not mired in period philosophy.

The plot is simple. A young Algerian, Meursault, afflicted with a sort of aimless inertia, becomes embroiled in the petty intrigues of a local pimp and, somewhat inexplicably, ends up killing a man. Once he's imprisoned and eventually brought to trial, his crime, it becomes apparent, is not so much the arguably defensible murder he has committed as it is his deficient character. The trial's proceedings are absurd, a parsing of incidental trivialities--that Meursault, for instance, seemed unmoved by his own mother's death and then attended a comic movie the evening after her funeral are two ostensibly damning facts--so that the eventual sentence the jury issues is both ridiculous and inevitable.

Meursault remains a cipher nearly to the story's end--dispassionate, clinical, disengaged from his own emotions. "She wanted to know if I loved her," he says of his girlfriend. "I answered the same way I had the last time, that it didn't mean anything but that I probably didn't." There's a latent ominousness in such observations, a sense that devotion is nothing more than self-delusion. It's undoubtedly true that Meursault exhibits an extreme of resignation; however, his confrontation with "the gentle indifference of the world" remains as compelling as it was when Camus first recounted it. --Ben Guterson

From Library Journal

The new translation of Camus's classic is a cultural event; the translation of Cocteau's diary is a literary event. Both translations are superb, but Ward's will affect a naturalized narrative, while Browner's will strengthen Cocteau's reemerging critical standing. Since 1946 untold thousands of American students have read a broadly interpretative, albeit beautifully crafted British Stranger . Such readers have closed Part I on "door of undoing" and Part II on "howls of execration." Now with the domestications pruned away from the text, students will be as close to the original as another language will allow: "door of unhappiness" and "cries of hate." Browner has no need to "write-over" another translation. With Cocteau's reputation chiefly as a cineaste until recently, he has been read in French or not at all. Further, the essay puts a translator under less pressure to normalize for readers' expectations. Both translations show the current trend to stay closer to the original.

Review

“The Stranger is a strikingly modern text and Matthew Ward’s translation will enable readers to appreciate why Camus’s stoical anti-hero and ­devious narrator remains one of the key expressions of a postwar Western malaise, and one of the cleverest exponents of a literature of ambiguity.” –from the Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie

一切也是太熱的原故。

评分

Meursault describes people around him as if they were items on a grocery list. In opening himself to the tender indifference of the world, he is in a sense truly free.

荒谬感, 虚无感. 译名的话, 局外人、异乡人、畸零人都要比陌生人强吧. 怎样的浮世, 才能有这般生存状态, 不少地方我都看得笑了. 醉酒, 癫狂, 耳鸣, 皆是悠然心会, 妙处难与君说, 少数派的虽败犹胜在文学作品中屡试不爽. 兰波笑说: "我是一个他人." 倒是应景非常.

看不懂就对了,因为它得了诺奖。是否出了中译本?

“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...

這本書我讀了很久了,去年8月在上海買,在回程的20個小時硬座上讀完了這本書。或許是因為硬座疲憊,我匆匆翻讀這本書,只留下一個疏離冷漠的印象。當時不明白爲什麽這會是經典。 之後沒有重讀,但故事、或者說是印象留在了心中。現在最近半個月給自己定的讀書計劃是兩本法國哲...

重读加缪的《局外人》,我印象最深的是主人公默尔索的这一句:「人生在世,永远也不该演戏作假。」可以说这正是他人生哲学的根基,也是他的悲剧根源。 《局外人》的情节很简单,主人公默尔索是一个对生活各方面都抱有「无所谓」态度的人,一次无意的杀人让他上了法庭,最终被判...
