Features: Camus's novels feature clear plots, vivid descriptions, and concise language, even more accessible and easier to understand than many contemporary domestic works. Camus is not a philosophical man who preaches ceaselessly for personal beliefs at the expense of the novel itself. His streamlined and lucid storytelling, along with powerful narration, reveals the author's thoughts in every detail. It cannot be denied that Camus's writing lacks explosive creativity, nor is it exquisite or enduring, yet it is intensely passionate. This book discusses the bewildering absurdity of emotions in the mid-20th century—not the strict philosophical absurdity of our time that has yet to be recognized. However, it must be stated upfront that both are related to certain modern ideas. I have hardly concealed this intention, so readers will see the discussion of these modern ideas throughout the book. Nevertheless, it is also necessary to point out that what has been considered a conclusion in absurdity is presented as a starting point in this book. In this sense, it can be said that my conclusions contain certain speculative elements: it is impossible to judge the stance one intends to take in advance. Here, one can only obtain a description of spiritual suffering in its pure state.
