 | Title: L'Étranger Author: Albert Camus | |

In June 1942, a short novel, The Outsider, appeared. The author was an unknown 28-year-old who was going to not only modify the history of French literature but also that of the philosophy of the 20th century with his formulation of the absurdity of human destiny. On the 7, 8 and 9th of April 1954, Albert Camus recorded the whole of his book for national radio (O.R.T.F). This wonderful recording has been restored and is now available for the first time on CD.
