universal guilt and responsibility - we are all the only bearers of our own cross. the realization of our condemnation to freedom, and therefore universal guilt & responsibility, comes silently and all at once. a very solid elaboration on the absurdist worldview! also quite funny

Reading language: Greek
We cannot prove anyone's innocence, while we can definitely prove everyone's guilt.
A pretentious and miserable man realises that he's pretentious and miserable. What more usual can happen?
2 starts because I appreciate the author's desire to criticize fake values and hypocritical morality. I only wish he could had done it in a less dull way.

I tried reading this book a bit ago unsuccessfully but am so happy I tried again. Incredibly fascinating. However, I do prefer ‘The Outsider’ still.
