The Plague (chinese Translation of World Literature Masterpieces Series)
About This Novel
"The Plague" tells the story of a small city in North Africa called Oran. The plague suddenly struck, claiming hundreds of lives, and changed the entire city's administrative management, social order, and moral conscience. A large number of people, represented by the protagonist Dr. Rieux, fought hard in the face of the plague, showing the true brave man still resisted in the midst of absurdity, and the liberal humanitarian spirit of insisting on truth and justice in despair. When the city's residents shifted from initial indifference to self-preservation to a unified fight against the plague, the plague suddenly disappeared. In this novel, the plague that suddenly rages and disappears is a specific disaster and an absurd symbol with multiple interpretation spaces. "The Plague" aims to restore the original face of truth in the absurd real world, return heroism to its due secondary status, reveal the theme of resistance to absurdity, and is an important work that embodies Camus' absurd philosophy. "The Plague" won the French Criticism Prize in 1947 and has been a best-seller for many years.
