well, since "doing little" was the role bourgeois society ascribed to virtuous women in the 19th century, this isnt so remarkable.

Just look at the paintings of that era. By far the most depicted women lounging some place.

Depicting a male looking at a fully clothed female on the same park-bench could cause a scandal.

"Fashion and Gore" or "The murderer Jones".

>> No.1320045

I am just going to quote the simple English version of the stranger on wikipedia.
And i quote
The Stranger (sometimes known as The Outsider) is an existentialist novel written by French writer Albert Camus. It was written in 1942.
The title is "L'Etranger" in French. It discusses a few philosophical ideologies, that were important for the development of modern philosophical ideas.

That's wikipedia simple English for you
