Description

Description

"The Plague" is the globally recognizable tale by Albert Camus about fear and courage. The inhabitants of Oran find themselves under the influence of a deadly plague, which condemns its victims to a swift and gruesome death. Fear, isolation, and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person reacts in their own way to the deadly disease: some succumb to fate, others seek scapegoats, and some, like Dr. Rieux, resist the terror. An immediate triumph upon publication in 1947, The Plague is partly an allegory of France's suffering under Nazi occupation, and a story of heroism and perseverance in the face of the uncertainty of human existence.

“A matchless tale of fear, courage, and cowardice” Independent

“Spellbinding” The Times

Albert Camus was born in Algeria in 1913. He studied philosophy in Algeria and then worked as a journalist in Paris. He was one of the intellectual leaders of the Resistance movement, and after the war, he established his international reputation as a writer. His books include "The Plague," "The Just Assassins," and "The Fall," and he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. Camus died in a car accident in 1960.
