With millions of copies sold The Stranger is one of the most widely read novels in the world. It stands as perhaps the greatest existentialist tale ever conceived. When a young Algerian named Meursault kills a man, his subsequent imprisonment and trial are puzzling and absurd. This remarkable translation by Matthew Ward has been considered the definitive English version since its original publication.

This new version includes updated statistics and additional quotes from some of the greatest thought leaders, including Nelson Mandela and Buddha. It is written as gender-neutral, and for the first time it contains a women's point of view. Many of these older books focus on saying things such as: "when a man" instead of "when a person". Howroyd believes that words matter and can make a difference. "Our world has significantly changed since Earl shared his principles in the 1950s, but his message is now more relevant than ever," said Howroyd.
