More on The Plague
Description from Wikipedia:
The Plague (Fr. La Peste) is a novel by Albert Camus, published in 1947, that tells the story of medical workers finding solidarity in their labour as the Algerian city of Oran is swept by a plague. 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.
The novel is believed to be based in the cholera epidemic that killed a large percentage of Oran's population in 1849 after French colonization. Oran and its environs were struck by the plague multiple times before Camus published this novel. According to a research report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Oran was decimated by the plague in 1556 and 1678, but outbreaks after European colonization in 1921 (185 cases), 1931 (76 cases), and 1944 (95 cases) were very far from the scale of the epidemic described in the novel.
The Plague is considered an existentialist classic despite Camus' objection to the label. The narrative tone is similar to Kafka's, especially in The Trial, where individual sentences potentially have multiple meanings, the material often pointedly resonating as stark allegory of phenomenal consciousness and the human condition. Camus included a dim-witted character misreading The Trial as a mystery novel as an oblique homage. The novel has been read as a metaphorical treatment of the French resistance to Nazi occupation during World War II.
