Plague The
Author(s): Albert Camus
The townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a virulent plague. Cut off from the rest of the world, living in fear, they each respond in their own way to the grim challenge of the deadly bacillus. This novel tells a story of courage and determination against the arbitrariness and seeming absurdity of human existence.
