About La Peste

Albert Camus's The Plague (1947) narrates a bubonic plague epidemic in the French Algerian city of Oran, told through the perspective of Dr. Bernard Rieux and a group of companions who choose to stay and fight the disease as the city is sealed off from the world. A novel about solidarity, absurdism, and the human response to collective catastrophe.
