具体描述
Is it possible to die a happy death? This is the central question of Camus' astonishing early novel, published posthumously and greeted as a major literary event. It tells the story of a young Algerian, Mersault, who defies society's rules by committing a murder and escaping punishment, then experimenting with different ways of life and finally dying a happy man. In many ways, "A Happy Death" is a fascinating first sketch for "The Outsider", but it can also be seen as a candid self-portrait, drawing on Camus' memories of his youth, travels and early relationships. It is infused with lyrical descriptions of the sun-drenched Algiers of his childhood - the place where, eventually, Mersault is able to find peace and die 'without anger, without hatred, without regret'.

一) 加缪写《快乐的死》时的年龄正和我现在的年龄相仿。他在小说里提出的问题原本并不特别深刻——何为快乐?财富,时间和情爱为什么不能让人感到真正的幸福?设身处地地想想,二十四岁确实是一个人真正意义上第一次经受此类考验,并且迫切希望找到答案的时候。只不过比起...
這部小說是卡繆在24歲左右時所寫的。書中充滿了對思想、人生、世界的徬徨游移與思索,似乎也呼應著青年卡繆當時的心境。 主角是一位四肢健壯,但患有隱疾的年輕人梅爾索,他和母親兩人相依為命,以貧困的狀態住在破敗骯髒的小公寓裡,母親過世後,原本朋友就不多的他更顯得寂...
