Con dibujos de José Muñoz; traducción de José Ángel Valente.

Albert Camus (1913-1960) no solo fue uno de los escritores mas prestigiosos de la generacion que llego a la madurez entre las ruinas, la frustracion y la desesperanza de la Europa demolida por las dos Guerras Mundiales, sino que el paso del tiempo agiganta cada vez mas su figura excepcional y el valor de su obra. ""El extranjero"", novela con cuya publicacion salto a la fama en 1942, tiene como referencia omnipresente a Meursault, su protagonista, a quien una serie de circunstancias conduce a cometer un crimen aparentemente inmotivado. El desenlace de su proceso judicial no tendra mas sentido que su vida, corroida por la cotidianidad y gobernada por fuerzas anonimas que, al despojar a los hombres de la condicion de sujetos autonomos, los eximen tambien de responsabilidad y de culpa.
