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

From the Hardcover edition.

Don't really like the absurd hero.

评分

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.

coldness as a way of life among the collective

评分

仔细想想国人并没有丧的传统,所以翻译《人间失格》或者《局外人》的时候,字里行间都在“强说愁”,大概可以形容之为“尬丧”。英译本就完全不同,不需要太多形容词,只需单纯平淡叙事就能窥见主人公性情,顺畅得很。

呆在那里,还是走开,结果一样 -----加缪《局外人》 局外人的眼光完整的还原了这个粗糙、漠然、无理性的世界 愚昧和死亡混杂的气味渗透在生的每一个细节里 生活中所有令人难以忍受的细节都被语言的慢镜头放大和重现 整个故事被安排在炎热的夏季 这个季节充斥着令人发狂的暴烈阳...

我承认,在这篇书评落笔之前,我踌躇许久。 对一本被奉为经典的书来说,若不是读过两遍以上、反复咀嚼,这样的评论写出来都会让我很惶恐。怕因我的肤浅和主观而导致对经典的亵渎。即使我人微言轻,但也实在知道当谨慎自己所发的言语。 而且,对性格入世且积极乐观的笔者来说,...

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...

人常常会在一些很平凡的时候静下心来,停下脚步思考,看书,学习,探索生命的意义。 当看到一篇教人如何在更快更高效读书的文章后,我开始陷入质疑,读书真的需要那样争分夺秒和仪式感吗?许多名人确实都把读书列入每日计划中,更有甚者比如李欣频曾在一年的365天里每天读一本...

你有没有尝试过从悬崖绝壁的顶端往下跳? 应该没有。 为什么? 因为你会死。我也会,所有人都会。 答案既简单又神秘深奥。在我们同狩猎采集为生的祖先分道扬镳的几千年里,许多人在不停地探索这些自然科学的奥秘。这些奥秘与自然界的客观规律有关。值得庆幸的是,从牛顿力学到...
