'A story for our, and all, times' Guardian The Plague is Albert
Camus's world-renowned fable of fear and courage The townspeople of
Oran are in the grip of a deadly plague, which condemns its victims
to a swift and horrifying death. Fear, isolation and claustrophobia
follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in
their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to
fate, some seek blame, and a few, like Dr Rieux, resist the terror.
An immediate triumph when it was published in 1947, The Plague is
in part an allegory of France's suffering under the Nazi
occupation, and a story of bravery and determination against the
precariousness of human existence. 'A matchless fable of fear,
courage and cowardice' Independent 'Magnificent' The Times
