Plague
About This Novel
"The Plague" tells the story of Oran, Algeria, where the sudden plague makes people overwhelmed. Politicians are arrogant and ignorant, cover up their faults, and even want to use disasters to gain profits; small people who used to live a depressing life suddenly become famous figures in the city by using their black market connections to bring all kinds of contraband to the people; ordinary people are panicked, helpless, selfish and greedy, and just live a decadent life every day. The plague city was heavily blockaded and no one could enter or exit freely. The people trapped in the city miss their relatives and friends living outside the city day and night. A reporter who went to the city on business was forced to live a life without relatives and friends, and could only hope to kill time by joining a volunteer team. The protagonist, Dr. Rieux, stepped forward to rescue the patient and became sworn friends with some of his colleagues. However, his wife is far away in a nursing home, and her life or death is uncertain. In the end, the plague retreated, but although the noisy gongs and drums diluted people's fear of the disease, the people of Oran will never forget the nightmare that the plague brought to them.
