By, Douglas Gauld, The man----when it comes to post WWII modern existentialism- --Albert Camus! I also liked Jean Paul Sartre, a contemporary of Camus, also a French Post WWII modern existential philosopher. I loved Sartres great Treatise of Existential Philosophy, Being and Nothingness, a must read book for the thinking man! by Douglas Gauld, Perpetual Student of Philosophy, and Perpetual Student of Life, Doug E.Fresh, AKA, Douglas Gauld!!!! As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. ― Albert Camus, LÉtranger “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 Albert Camus’s spare, laconic masterpiece about a Frenchman who murders an Arab in Algeria is famous for having diagnosed, with a clarity almost scientific, that condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life. Possessing both the force of a parable and the excitement of a perfectly executed thriller, The Stranger is the work of one of the most engaged and intellectually alert writers of the past century.
