The Plague, novel by Algerian-born French writer Albert Camus, published in 1947 as La Peste. The work is an allegorical account of the determined fight against an epidemic in the town of Oran, Alg., by characters who embody human dignity and fraternity.
Why did Camus write the plague?
Camus was drawn to his theme because, in his philosophy, we are all – unbeknownst to us – already living through a plague: that is a widespread, silent, invisible disease that may kill any of us at any time and destroy the lives we assumed were solid.
Who wrote La Peste?
The human condition is absurd and precarious. That is the situation in La Peste (The Plague), Albert Camus's classic novel published in 1947, which is now attracting new generations of readers.
