Meursault, his anti-hero, will not lie. When his mother dies, he refuses to show his emotions simply to satisfy the expectations of others. And when he commits a random act of violence on a sun-drenched beach near Algiers, his lack of remorse compounds his guilt in the eyes of society and the law. Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Albert Camus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57390612480325,"sku":"9780241554401","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/3721\/6069\/files\/9780241554401_a93936cb-0429-40d5-9de9-f67b2bb8b7ae.jpg?v=1773740028","url":"https:\/\/stripyduckbookshopcafe.co.uk\/products\/9780241554401","provider":"The Stripy Duck Bookshop Café","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
