The Outsider, set in Algeria, became one of the first cult books of a new generation of French youth. The book is about a non-hero who is neither good nor evil, neither moral nor immoral, but is determined to give up lying. This decision, of course, turns into a disaster. "Outsider" describes the nakedness of a person in the face of the absurd," - this is how the author defines his intention. This book is still a worldwide bestseller. Several crazy rock compositions have been written based on it, the novel is constantly quoted by young rebels, and in 2000 the majority of English men (politicians, journalists, teachers, businessmen, students and schoolchildren) interviewed by London sociologists called The Outsider "the main book that changed their lives" .
