The people of Oran are in the grip of a virulent plague. Cut off from the rest of the world, they each respond in their own way to the challenge of the deadly bacillus. It is through the eyes of Dr. Rieux that we witness the course of the epidemic.
Albert Camus
Albert Camus was a French-Algerian writer, philosopher, and journalist known for his contributions to existentialism and absurdism. His most notable works include "The Stranger," "The Plague," and "The Myth of Sisyphus." Camus' writing style is characterized by its clarity, simplicity, and exploration of the human condition in the face of a meaningless universe. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 for his powerful and thought-provoking works. Camus' impact on literature can be seen in his ability to capture the essence of existential themes and challenge societal norms. "The Stranger" remains his most famous work, exploring themes of alienation, absurdity, and the search for meaning in a world devoid of inherent purpose.
