"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.

The author Camus's observation of life is very detailed, and his words are concise and powerful, which made me feel the hope in the absurd world. This is a book worth reading again and again.
