"The Plague" is one of Camus' important masterpieces. By describing the outbreak of plague in a city called Oran in North Africa, a large number of people represented by the protagonist Dr. Rieux struggled to fight against the plague. It vividly shows the great liberal humanitarian spirit of those who dare to face the bleak life and possess the fearless spirit of "knowing that it is impossible" to rise up in the absurd and insist on truth and justice in despair.
Reader comments
I particularly like Dr. Rieux, he is really a very brave man. Moreover, Camus wrote about Oran under the plague so vividly, it felt like I was there. This book also made me think about a lot of issues about human nature and life. It's very in-depth and the author is really great! I highly recommend you read it too.
