The Plague

Published: Jan 1, 1947

Description:

A haunting tale of human resilience in the face of unrelieved horror, Camus' novel about a bubonic plague ravaging the people of a North African coastal town is a classic of twentieth-century literature.

An epidemic serves a telling symbol for the Nazi occupation of France, and, by extension, for human existence as a whole.
