'A story for our, and all, times' Guardian Set in a town at the
mercy of an epidemic, The Plague is an odyssey into the darkness
and absurdity of human existence.
----------------------------------- 'On the morning of April 16, Dr
Rieux emerged from his consulting-room and came across a dead rat
in the middle of the landing.' It starts with the rats. Vomiting
blood, they die in their hundreds, then in their thousands. When
the rats are all gone, the citizens begin to fall sick. Like the
rats, they too die in ever greater numbers. The authorities
quarantine the town. Cut off, the terrified townspeople must face
this horror alone. Some resign themselves to death or the whims of
fate. Others seek someone to blame or dream of revenge. One is
determined to escape. But a few, like stoic Dr Rieux, stand
together to fight the terror. A monstrous evil has entered their
lives, but they will never surrender to it. They will resist the
plague. ----------------------------------- 'A matchless fable of
fear, courage and cowardice' Independent
