L'Etranger (The Outsider)
The Plague
Both books are set in Algeria, and both works are considered representative of Camus' best works.
So, who among the Club has already read either or both?
NB: I'm quite aware of the already posted extraordinarily polished and stiff competition, but still I thought Camus also met the criteria and standard, and gave another flavour again.  |
I've read both, and they are both excellent. Anything I've read by Camus is excellent, and that has been a translation. I can only image how superb the French originals are.
