Camus’ classic tale is set in 1938 French Algeria, where Meursault drifts through life with quiet detachment until his neighbor,Raymond, draws him into a series of events that culminate in a fatal confrontation on a sun-drenched beach. As he stands trial, Meursault’s indifference comes to define his fate as much as his actions.
