«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.
