5.0 out of 5 stars el absurdo, July 18, 2001
By 
Luis Méndez (Republica Dominicana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: El extranjero (Paperback)
A veces al caminar por la calle yo también he sentido esa desazón, esa falta de raíces en el mundo y pese a tener padre y madre, hermanos y esposa, siento que no pertenezco a este mundo, que yo también como el personaje de Camus, soy un extranjero en este mundo, que solo estoy de paso y que no importa lo que haga para cambiarlo siempre será así y jamás será de otra forma. En esos momentos en los que tengo un ataque fuerte de abusurdismo, veo lo banal, y a veces es aún mas fuerte que la depresión, pues en las depresiones te preocupas por que la gente no te quiere, en estos momentos eso no te importa ya, nada te importa. Mucha gente lo achaca a la falta de Dios, a la falta de raices, a la falta de amor, sin saber que a veces los excesos de la vida pueden producir ese mismo efecto y quizás hasta mucho peor. Camus nos muestra en su novela a un hombre que no tiene afectos ni pasiones, un hombre que sin querer mata, y sin querer muere y todo alrededor, vida y muerte, esta imbuido del sentido del absurdo.

Luis Méndez

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic existentialism, April 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The Stranger is a classic of literature, that can be read in one sitting (it's very short). Its power lies on the amoral voice of the narrator, his detached emotional state, and the tension that comes from the protagonist's trial, where he is accused of killing an arab, but in reality convicted for his lack of emotion at the death of his mother.
The language of the book is direct and simple, but it brilliantly conveys the psychological numbness of the character. This conveyance is preserved in the Spanish translation of the book (originally written in French) and to a lesser degree (but still substantial) the English translation.
