The Plague

Date of Review:  Nov 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: A masterpiece. Required reading.
Review: 'So the only thing for us to do was to go on waiting, and since after a too long waiting ones gives up waiting, the whole town lived as if it had no future.'

The small city of Oran is an ordinary city filled with people who possess...

For the true intellectual and philosopher!!!

Date of Review:  May 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: DEFINITELY pick up this one up if you are even a little interested. You won't be disappointed
Review: Camus's work of genius combines multiple tenets of existential philosophy to create a masterpiece that is amazingly deep yet concise as well. The onset of the plague on a Algerian town by the name of Oran causes the townspeople to face the constant...

This is a plague that you'll want to get!

Date of Review:  May 11, 2001
The Bottom Line: Great book- science-fiction that wonderfully tackles issues of medicine, religion, war, and more. A great read. (I mention specific characters who die of plague- don't say I didn't warn you!)
Review: Well, maybe not literally. But The Plague by Albert Camus is a great book. It was written just after World War II by Camus, and was written as a statement against how the Nazi's oppressed many Europeans during the war. That statement is not said...

Thought-provoking symbolism

Date of Review:  Jun 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: The Plague explores a town's reaction to crisis. The interactions between the characters open up many philosophical themes. The intense descriptions and biting symbolism make this a great novel.
Review: The novel is set in a small town in Northern Africa during the 1940s and revolves around the plague. The plague is introduced through rats, and there are some grotesque descriptions of the rats dying on the streets. Later the town is quarantined,...

Why live ?

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2008
The Bottom Line: Surely a book which will make you think
Review: Albert Camus wrote the book "The plague" in 1947 shortly after the end of the second World War.

The plot is very simple.

In the Algerian city of Oran (which at that time was part of the French colonies) plague erupts and forces...

The Plague

Date of Review:  May 10, 2000
Review: This is one of Camus' more well known works. It is the story of a town that is overcome by a plague and its residents are forced to remain within its walls until the disease has run its course. Once one contracts the plague, buboes grow, and you die...

A boring Plague

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2001
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend reading this due to there being so much unimportant detail that it bores you.
Review: This book is filled with vivid description of everything going on. There is so much of it that it actually bores you to death. It is like describing everything you would see in your house and then telling of a little event that happened. The story...
