The Plague (French: La Peste) is a novel by Albert Camus, published in 1947, that tells the story of a plague sweeping the French Algerian city of Oran. It asks a number of questions relating to the nature of destiny and the human condition. The characters in the book, ranging from doctors to vacationers to fugitives, all help to show the effects the plague has on a populace.
Camus immagina con precisione gli stati d'animo e le emozioni che investono una città in cui arriva la peste. Il risultato colpisce, alcune riflessioni mi rimarranno impresse.
