Brief Overview
«Exile and the Kingdom» is a collection of six short stories published in 1957. Originally released in French, it did not receive high praise from contemporary English critics. The central theme of the works is human loneliness, as well as the sense of alienation and isolation in society. Camus portrays the lives of outsiders living in Algeria, caught between the Muslim world and France. All the stories are united by the theme of internal exile and the quest to find one's own kingdom, as a metaphor for personal freedom and the meaning of life.
