    The Stranger (French: L'Étranger [letʁɑ̃ʒe], lit. 'The Foreigner'), also published in English as The Outsider, is a 1942 novella written by French author Albert Camus. The first of Camus's novels to be published, the story follows Meursault, an indifferent settler in French Algeria, who, weeks after his mother's funeral, kills an unnamed Arab man in Algiers. The story is divided into two parts, presenting Meursault's first-person narrative before and after the killing.Camus completed the initial manuscript by May 1941, with revisions suggested by André Malraux, Jean Paulhan, and Raymond Queneau that were adopted in the final version. The original French-language first edition of the novella was published on 19 May 1942, by Gallimard, under its original title; it appeared in bookstores from that June but was restricted to an initial 4,400 copies, so few that it could not be a bestseller. Even though it was published during the Nazi occupation of France, it went on sale without censorship or omission by the Propaganda-Staffel. Considered a classic of 20th-century literature, The Stranger has received critical acclaim for Camus's philosophical outlook, absurdism, syntactic structure, and existentialism (despite Camus's rejection of the label), particularly within its final chapter. Le Monde ranked The Stranger as number one on its 100 Books of the 20th Century. In Le Temps it was voted the third best book written in French in the 20th and 21st century by a jury of 50 literary connoisseurs. The novella has twice been adapted for film: Lo Straniero (1967) and Yazgı (2001), has seen numerous references and homages in television and music (notably "Killing an Arab" by The Cure), and was retold from the perspective of the unnamed Arab man's brother in Kamel Daoud's 2013 novel The Meursault Investigation.

    Welcome to my 5th poetry collection, If This is The Edge, What's After It. This is probably my most philosophical collection yet, as I try to explore everything from light and darkness, the creative process itself, death, hope and more. The edge in the title represents, at least to me, the unknown, and both literally new areas in my poetry and the questions about life we don't know the answer to yet. And well, the only way to get the answers is to jump over and see what's on the other side. Thanks for reading, these were written all during the second half of 2020. The poems are: 1. Seaside 2. A Modern Ecstasy 3. Eternal Light 4. Kibou (Hope) 5. Perfect Imperfection (The Edge Cases) 6. Carry On/The Cliff 7. Picking Up The Pieces/Ludens 8. The Limits/Hanatarash 9. Anthoine's Song (A Tribute to Anthoine Hubert) 10. Running Towards The Sun

    Esta pequeña pieza trata de la filosofía promulgada por Camus. Podrá tacharse de tragedia, pero ¿acaso no es cierto que la vida misma es una tragedia humana? Quizás no posea el encanto de las magníficas obras de dicho autor francés, pero, a mi juicio, posee su esencia. No busquen al autor entre los personajes, pues no existe.

    This is kind of going to be a really weird random story about reader and Camus' relationship. I hope you enjoy it.
