Sinopse

From one of the most important and representative authors of the 20th century and Nobel Prize winner for Literature.

A novel that highlights the changes in life in the city of Oran, Algeria, after it is struck by a terrible plague, transmitted by rats, that decimates the population. The political dimension of this book is undeniable, one of the most widely read of the post-war period, as the city ravaged by the epidemic recalls the Nazi occupation of France during World War II. The Plague is a work of resistance in every sense of the word.

Told from the perspective of a doctor involved in efforts to contain the disease, Albert Camus's text highlights solidarity, loneliness, death, and other themes fundamental to understanding the dilemmas of modern man.

“Nothing better – as André Malraux had already shown in his novelistic phase – than a collective crisis to reveal to the cornered individual the non-individual values – political, ethical, metaphysical – that constitute his precious individuality.

Like Malraux himself, like Sartre, and like so many other French intellectuals and artists of the 20th century, Camus discovers the primacy of the collective. With its lucid and tormented characters, whose individual stories find themselves suddenly but decisively entangled in the threads of history, the novel *The Plague* can be read as a chronicle of this discovery. – Savvas Karydakis
