4.0 out of 5 stars French language classroom edition
This mid-1950s Prentice-Hall edition, designed for advanced high school or intermediate college students, omits several passages:

1.0 out of 5 stars False advertising
Don't use this seller. Book was advertised as one edition, but seller mailed a completely different edition. Worse yet, seller failed to respond to 2 separate emails until well after Amazon agreed to credit my account.

4.0 out of 5 stars French language classroom edition, November 20, 2010
This review is from: Albert Camus: L'Étranger
This mid-1950s Prentice-Hall edition, designed for advanced high school or intermediate college students, omits several passages:

"The only change we have made in the text is the omission of four phrases, of about one line each, which might prove embarrassing in classroom reading."

On the plus side, it includes a three-paragraph Preface (in French) by Camus, a sixteen-page Introduction (in English) by the editors*, and a long (forty-three page!) vocabulaire (Glossary).

Comfortable readers of French would do best to stick with the original, or, for English, the Stuart Gilbert translation.

* Both editors, leading French literature professors of their day, passed away recently. (obits in Comments section below)
