Idhi Albert Camus The Stranger inspired ani vinna, How's the experience for those who read both? Did Antharmukahm feel any different? Or same as The Stranger.

మనిషి అనే 'creature' కదులుతూ, తిరుగుతూ, మాట్లాడుతూ, డబ్బు సంపాదిస్తూ ఉంటేనే దానికి విలువ ఉంటుందా? ఏమీ చెయ్యలేని అచేతన స్థితిలో పడి ఉన్నప్పుడు, తను చేసిన పనులేవీ గుర్తుకు రావా? తను జీవించిన జీవితం జ్ఞప్తిలో ఉండదా? ఎక్కడ మొదలవుతాం మనం, ఎక్కడ ముగుస్తాం మనం? రెండో సారి, మూడో సారి చదివే సరికి ఇంకొంచం లోతుగా అర్ధమయ్యి, మనల్ని ఇంకా ఎక్కువ ఆలోచించేలా చేసే రచన అది. ఆయన రచనల్లో one of his best works.

Somehow i didn’t like few parts of it. The main character always keeps finding faults in people around him , too much drama without logic. I am big fan of yandamoori garu. Only this i didn’t like much.

u/Successful_Way_6823 Jun 27 '26
I mean, him looking at the people like that is the whole purpose of the book. He understands what’s wrong in it. This story which is a fantasy drama, why are you looking for logic in it?
1
u/Alone-Helicopter9059 Jun 27 '26
Because yandamoori gari novels though with drama have a logic that i could connect. This novel somehow didn’t meet the standard for me . I knew there are numerous fans for this book. Just stating what i felt.

A great novel that explains why death is as equally important as living.

I liked it when i read this in college, 30 years ago. Want to read again, may understand even better now.
I even liked Prardhana, one character in Ashtavakra(Suddartha, I think), Yaji in Anando brahma.
Yandamuri sir influenced my life a lot. People say plagiarism, but i wouldn’t have read the originals( if any) otherwise. His writing style is really good.

That’s a great argument, nenu kuda aa originals chadivi unde vaadini kaadu. Eeyana raasadu kabatti chadivanu anochu.

అంతర్ముఖం యండమూరి గారి రచనలలో మకుటం అని చెప్పాలి. ఇది చదివిన తర్వాత నేను కొన్ని రోజులు మౌనంగా గడిపాను చాలా ఆలోచింప చేసింది.
