Would you say that by treating the Arab with respect that Daru influenced the Arab to act with honor towards the law? Great narration. Listening from South Carolina, USA.
I got: even by acting as pure as his convictions, he ends up upsetting every one involved. Cop, Arab family, and arab, by guilting him into turning himself in by treating him so humanely
@rwed13 I guess the moral of the story is by not holding your convictions and trying to avoid responsibility. You make enemies with everyone. In trying to pass off the moral judgment he created the worst of both worlds.
In response to All Srories Aloud introduction to the vignette by Camus "The Guest" which is about weaponized intolerance, on one side, innocense, on the other, all reaching the same crossroad at the same time.......I am surprised that the focus is on the limp response you term "tolerance'" as "worthy of deep consideration today' The Guest is about prelude to a war. The schoolmaster is oblivious to what's coming, he is a hateful creature, but not cruel. In analyzing these writings, we should do better today.
If you listen carefully to the vignette, Camus describing the pretext to a war. The fat deliverer of the Arab, his statement of rumblings of unrest from the Arabs's tribe, the Arab's concern over the schoolmaster, the reason for his arrest is abstruct, the "furtive footsteps" the threats, all in such short order.That schoolplace will be the pinpoint of the beginning of the war, once the schoolmaster is killed in 'retribution' Not sure who does the killing the French....it's possible.
If I understood the end correctly: the prisoner- despite being given the chance to walk away free- decide to hand himself over, while- on his return to the school- the teacher found message left by the prisoner's brothers/friends? Conclusion: None of them survives? :(
Not quite, one is described as "the Arab prisoner" & the other is "Daru", the French (or at least a European) teacher. (Note: Algeria was colonised by France between 1830 and 1962 and this book takes place just before Algeria's war of independence started in 1954) ...the person (mistakingly) described by Camus as the "Arab" is probably a Berber but that's how the French described most Algerians if they spoke an Algerian kind of Arabic language as opposed to the "Kabyle" language which is the local berber language. Camus may have been awarded the Nobel price but such a simple notion of race/ language and more importantly respect for the indigenous population is aleatory. He never took the time to look bellow the cover and realise that Algeria (as most of North Africa) is populated by Berbers who were converted by the Islamic conquest 14 centuries ago to speaking a kind of Arabic language that developed into today's language (Darija Arabic). In my book, speaking Arabic does not turn you into an Arab, as much a speaking English does not turn you into an English person (Americans, Australians, New-Zealanders, Indians and the rest of the english speaking world included.)
@@kammak2922 Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I used to read Camus's writings and I have learned a bit of Algeria. Now I love everything about Algeria's history, people, and music ect. Love from a Korean.❤
Algeria's settler colonizers, the french, of which Camus was a descended. That's the reason his voice towards Arabs is distant and at times condiscending. There are white Arabs and Black arabs or whom are the marjority. The school master was white.
Perfect reading , you helped me to really understand the deep meaning ,reading between the lines ! Thanks.

Yes. That’s how I take it

Very well read thanks and Camu
Great read thank you!
Listening from Brisbane, Australia. Very enjoyable, thank you.
Haunting beautiful and excellent narration. Thank you for all your work. Hopefully someday I can see the movie. Greetings from Chicago, Illinois USA
The background music is intrusive. It doesn’t support the excellent narration or the story.
Great reading. Subbed.
Sad story.

Can someone explain the ending?
The narrator sounds like Mark Hamill
Whiny young Luke Skywalker Mark Hamill, or celebrated-award-winning-mature-voice-actor Mark Hamill?? 😁
@@AllStoriesAloud Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker. Youthful but still matured.
Algerians are Arab.
So, it's a story of two Arabs,
a schoolmaster and a prisonner.
If I understood the end correctly: the prisoner- despite being given the chance to walk away free- decide to hand himself over, while- on his return to the school- the teacher found message left by the prisoner's brothers/friends?
Conclusion:
None of them survives?

@@oceanaoushn8803 That was my understanding.
The Arab has NO NAME....hmmmm
annoying music and sad narration
I disagree
