L'Etranger (The Stranger) is a novel by French author Albert Camus published in 1942. Its theme and outlook are often cited as examples of Camus's philosophy of the absurd and existentialism, though Camus personally rejected the latter label.

Identifying a first edition of 'L'Etranger' would involve checking the publisher (Gallimard), publication date, and often specific details like errors or typesetting details that were corrected in later editions.
