Dr. Zhang Wenhong recommends reading. Let you understand the rumors, panic and truth during the epidemic! A masterpiece by Nobel Prize winner Camus. A new reader's version of the original 10,000-word introduction to "The Plague". Special compilation of virus chronology.
A plague swept through an ordinary small town unexpectedly. The increasing death toll broke the ordinary lives of the citizens: panic spread, rumors spread wildly, and chaos replaced calm as daily life...
But there is a group of people in this city who spontaneously take on the responsibility of treating plague patients and maintaining urban order. They come from all walks of life: doctors, civil servants, journalists, priests, etc.
They are not shining heroes.
They are just a bunch of ordinary people.
"The Plague", first published in 1947, describes this sudden epidemic and the story of how ordinary people fought against it. It presents many attitudes of human beings in resisting suffering and death. It affirms the power of human beings to face absurdity and fight against fate, and gives modern people important enlightenment about survival.
Reader comments
Reading it again after experiencing the epidemic has a profound practical significance.
When a disaster strikes, individual heroism disappears, but individual heroes remain immortal.
Even if you know that resistance is futile, you still have to fight. Life is a struggle that is fought despite knowing that there is no hope.
When facing group difficulties, some people are passive and pessimistic, some are gloating about misfortune, and some are brave and passive and become heroes. The beauty and ugliness of human nature are fully exposed. To quote the author: There are more advantages in people that are worthy of praise than weaknesses that are despised. This is our lovely fellow human being.
Good, suitable for repeated reading
An epic about human nature
You and I are both suffering from the plague, what kind of life have we chosen?
A true portrayal of how small, helpless and united human beings are in the face of disasters
The beauty of human nature overflows beyond words
Nothing can avoid the end of the world, and survival itself has become a kind of nothingness.
A groundbreaking book
I haven't read it yet, so I can't comment [what]
Full of humanitarian spirit
I obviously watched it for 9 hours, why does it show 6 hours here?
There are more admirable strengths in a person than despiseable weaknesses
So good, so good
A very good book, I hope I can have a deeper understanding of the characters after reading other books.
