Der Fremde / Die Pest (Pocket Book)

Camus's exploration of existentialism and absurdity shapes both the tone and structure. I'm curious how these ideas guided his storytelling choices.

The characters often seem distant or indifferent, which fits the themes, but it made me wonder if this was a deliberate choice or a reflection of the story's tone.

Both stories deal with human mortality and absurdity, but I wonder what led to their combination and what connections the author intended to highlight.
