Recenzje

A PARADE BEST BOOK OF ALL TIME

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
