Apesar de ser uma história curta e simples, fez-mesorrir mais do que esperava. Há algo de genuinamente encantador nas interações entre as personagens, nas suas conversas, nos seus momentos de embaraço e nas ligações breves que vão criando entre si. Aq ...more

Well.. I picked up The Stranger because I expected a clean hit of existential dread, the literary equivalent of staring at a ceiling fan at 3 a.m. and wondering whether anything matters. And tbf, Camus delivers plenty of that. I.e. Meursault is detac ...more
