'A story for our,and all,times'GuardianThe Plague is Albert Camus's world-renowned fable of fear and courageThe townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a deadly plague,which condemns its victims to a swift and horrifying death. Fear,isolation and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate,some seek blame,and a few,like Dr Rieux,resist the terror.An immediate triumph when it was published in 1947,The Plague is in part an allegory of France's suffering under the Nazi occupation,and a story of bravery and determination against the precariousness of human existence.'A matchless fable of fear,courage and cowardice'Independent'Magnificent'The Times
