---------------------------
The Stranger is the starting point of Camus's thought, written in the form of a self-narration by Meursault, an employee of a shipping company in Algiers. The novel shocked the reading world with its concise and almost dry style and calm and almost indifferent tone.
The Myth of Sisyphus demonstrates the basic idea of The Outsider in philosophical language. In the book, Camus discusses the "philosophy of the absurd", which is a complete philosophical system from awakening to action.
