The Outsider·the Plague (nobel Prize in Literature Series)
About This Novel
This book contains two famous novels by Camus: "The Stranger" and "The Plague". "The Stranger" is Camus' famous work and a representative work of existential literature. It vividly embodies the concept of "absurdity" in existential philosophy; due to the separation of man and the world, the world is absurd and meaningless to people, and people are powerless against the absurd world, so they have no hope and are indifferent to everything. "The Plague" is a philosophical novel written with symbolism. It tells the story of a plague in Oran, Algeria. The sudden plague makes people overwhelmed. At this time, the protagonist stepped forward to rescue the patients and became sworn friends with some of his colleagues. However, his wife was far away in the nursing home, and her life or death was uncertain. The outlook on life expressed in this novel is that one's own life is no longer important, only the life of the group is meaningful, personal interests are no longer meaningful, and only the interests of the group are meaningful.

Very nice
I see my own reflection in the protagonist. Sometimes I feel angry, and sometimes I feel that this should be the case. I am glad that I truly understand the hardships and surprises of life. Instead of treating one's life with restraint, calmness and no emotion like an outsider.
