Publisher's Summary

"18 juillet. Hier à midi, sur la plage de Tipaza, un employé de bureau dénommé Meursault, demeurant rue Bab-Azoun à Alger, a tué de cinq balles de revolver un Arabe non encore identifié. Les motifs du crime restent inconnus. Arrêté, Meursault a été transféré à la prison d'Alger." Jugé, reconnu coupable de meurtre avec préméditation, condamné à mort et exécuté, on ne saura jamais pourquoi Meursault a tué. Il assiste à son procès comme si c'était un autre qu'on jugeait. Une profonde réflexion sur l'être et la vie.
©1942 Éditions Gallimard (P)1986/ 2007 Enregistrement Audivis/ Éditions Gallimard

La mort ne peut être réelle puisqu’elle s’oppose à la volonté de Dieu

J’ai appris du Cours en miracles la folle illusion qu’est ce monde. Une illusion basée sur la culpabilité du Fils de Dieu qui croît s’être séparé de son Père. Mais il n’est pas séparé. Il dort, il rêve, il hallucine. Camus a bien décrit l’état des esprits endormis qui projettent leur culpabilité sur les autres. Heureusement rien de cela n’est réel !

marvelous

a stunning description of what it means to live and to die - to exist and to brace for non-existance

Lonsdale voice is perfect for the book

minus 1 star for the production. unnecessary music and too much mouth noises as if the microphone was too close. it gets really noticeable with head phones.

J’ai aimé malgré

J’ai aimé le roman de Camus. Je suis une fan de Camus. Donc, je connaissait l’œuvre avant de l’entendre et heureusement que je la connaissais. Le lecteur, à mon avis, lit sur un ton monocorde ce qui est endormant à la longue. C’est dommage pour le roman
