Albert Camus wrote it in 1942.\\n\\xa0The story takes place in Alger, the capital of Algeria, when this country was a French colony. The hero, Meursault, is a young man working as a clerk. From the outside he seems to be just like you and me.\\nBut by listening to him telling his story, we quickly understand that it\\u2019s not the case. Meursault appears to be completely emotionless.

I\\u2019m sure that this fascinating story will give you some food for thought!\\nYou can read the transcript here.'
