Book: The Outsider
When he read what the philosophers had done, he was fascinated by the introduction of the philosophical ideas of Camus. Just want to find his work to read.
The Book of Outsiders is about the story of an ordinary clerk who was confused and killed and sentenced to death. The upper part of the book reads like a journal, flat, the only feeling is that the protagonist Meursault to any matter do not care about the appearance, feelings never show strong, cold full. When his lover, Mary, asked him if he loved her, he replied, "There is no point in saying this, but I do not seem to love you", but this indifference is honest. Meursault attended mother's funeral, the funeral was tired and sleepy, did not cry, the next day with the lover together, watching comedy, eat. I didn't think these were the reasons why he was sentenced to death in case of lack of objective evidence. because he did not cry at his mother's funeral, on weekdays also showed indifference not to progress, so he concluded that he is a must kill other people's murderer. In other words, his fate does not depend on the objective facts of the murder itself, but on how people perceive him, depending on what people think of his life, his lifestyle, or even the taste of life, which in fact depends on some kind of idea and ideology.
This book is not interesting to read, and I would like to know the philosophy of Camus not much relationship, so I intend to read some of Camus's works.
I have a chord in the following book.
- I have a natural instinct that my physical needs often interfere with my emotions. The day I buried my mother, I was tired and sleepy, so I didn't realize the meaning of what happened at that time.
- Memories of the past life suddenly poured into my mind, that life is not mine, but I have from there have been my most pathetic, most unforgettable happiness.
- What one does not know about him always has some exaggerated and distorted thoughts.
- The world knows that living patience is not worth it. I do not know that 30-year-old death or 70-year-old death, the difference is not big, because in any case, the other men and other women are so alive, living for thousands of years like this.
- In any case, I think this shop is a bit of their own, life, never should not act false.
