ALBERT CAMUS - Der Fremde
«Mir wurde klar, dass ich das Gleichgewicht des Tages zerstört hatte, die außergewöhnliche Stille eines Strandes, an dem ich glücklich gewesen war. Da habe ich noch viermal auf einen leblosen Körper geschossen, in den die Kugeln eindrangen, ohne dass man es ihm ansah. Und es war wie vier kurze Schläge, mit denen ich an das Tor des Unglücks hämmerte.»
Die Geschichte eines jungen Franzosen in Algerien, den ein lächerlicher Zufall zum Mörder macht, wurde 1942 im besetzten Frankreich zu einer literarischen Sensation. Der Roman bedeutete den schriftstellerischen Durchbruch für Albert Camus und gilt heute als einer der Haupttexte des Existenzialismus.
Quelle: Klappentext
Nachdem ich zuletzt „Die Pest“ von Albert Camus gelesen habe, habe ich nun zu einem weiteren Klassiker desselben Autors gegriffen. „Der Fremde“ (im Original „L’étranger“), 1942 bei Gallimard in Paris erschienen, ist Albert Camus‘ erster Roman und wurde zu einem der weltweit meistgelesenen französischen Romane, nach „Der kleine Prinz“ von Antoine de Saint-Exupéry und „20.000 Meilen unter dem Meer“ von Jules Vernes. Der Roman ist Teil des cycle de l’absurde, zu dem auch „Der Mythos des Sisyphus“ und die Theaterstücke „Caligula“ und „Das Missverständnis“ gehören. Das Buch bedeutete den schriftstellerischen Durchbruch für Albert Camus und wurde in Frankreich eine schriftstellerische Sensation.
Was mich an diesem Text sofort gefesselt hat, war die Haltung des Erzählers namens Meursault. Es handelt sich um einen introvertierten Mann, der über große Teile der Handlung teilnahmslos und weitgehend gleichgültig auf die Ereignisse, die ihm zustoßen, reagiert.
Der Text ist in zwei Teile gegliedert. Der erste Teil (6 Kapitel) schildert eine Begebenheit, der zweite Teil (5 Kapitel) behandelt deren Beurteilung durch die auftretenden Personen. Der erste Teil umfasst nur wenige Tage und schildert einzelne Episoden, der zweite Teil beschreibt die Handlung eines knappen Jahres und beinhaltet den Gefängnisaufenthalt, die Gerichtsverhandlung und die Verurteilung.

Beachvolley for Beginners at Sportplatz Buchlern 🏐
Hello everyone,
Since it might be sunny, I changed the location to Zürich Buchlern. Therefore, we will also get 2 fields (court 1 & 2) 🤗
During this event, you’ll have the chance to meet new people, play friendly matches and learn the basic techniques, if you wish.
This event is aimed at everyone that has never played before or a long time ago and is not sure to be able to pass the ball properly over the net or to someone. If you think you're comfortable playing, I invite you to join the advanced events of Marius: https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-avsypajv/.
**Tips:**
\- Bring a water bottle \(there's a drinking fountain next to the courts\)
\- Bring **sunglasses**, sunscreen and a cap
\- The courts can usually be watered\, except in rare cases \- so it's good to bring suitable socks if it's hot
**Practical details and participation conditions:**
\- A small contribution is required for court rental and other organisational expenses\, please pay before the event via TWINT at \+41784053495 by **writing your name and date of the event** or cash the day of the event.
\- For any inquiries\, please **only message me on Meetup**
\- Please only sign up through Meetup for an easier organisation
\- Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance if you can’t make it\, so others can sign up or I can reschedule the session
\- If you don't cancel and do not show\, cover your share to keep it fair for everyone\.
\- If it's raining\, the event will be cancelled as it's difficult to book 2 indoor beach courts\.
**Price per person:** CHF 6.5
**!No shows!**
Lately, there has been quite some no-shows. Therefore, I remind you to sign out 24 hours before the event if you're not sure to come. So that people in the waiting list can join instead. The court is not free, any no-show means wasted cost. In case of a no-show and no payment, I have no choice but to impeach you from signing up again by excluding you from the group 😣
