The Plague is a novel 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.
At the time of the Covid-19 epidemic, a very good book to read. I felt the pain and helplessness on the citizens of this Algerian town.
Although I don't agree with Camus' philosophy: that there is no God and no afterlife, this book is an interesting expose on the meaning of life.
