Plague

"SARS" in 2002, "COVID-19" in 2020... Whenever a disaster strikes, "Plague" will always be an explosive hit. Because people can always marvel at Camus's amazing foresight when reading "The Plague". Whether it is the social fragmentation caused by everyone's self-protection, the chaos and anxiety caused by rumors, the consideration and impact of strict control on humanity, or the alarming regression of globalization caused by the need for security exceeding the need for development, they are all accurately represented and traced back to their roots in Camus's masterpiece "The Plague". "The Plague" describes the plague disaster that lasted for nearly a year in a small town called Oran in a style that is as precise and concise as historical materials. Due to its huge influence and profound meaning, Camus's "plague" was once referred to as the "fascist" terror of the year. Later, more and more people hailed it as a symbol and epitome of the sudden disasters that mankind has faced, is currently experiencing, and will not be immune to in the future. This makes the book a must-read for people experiencing disaster. When the book came out, it was called a landmark work of the times, and won Camus the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957.
