Chronicle Conducive To Books The Plague

A gripping tale of human unrelieved horror, of survival and resilience, and of the ways in which humankind confronts death, The Plague is at once a masterfully crafted novel, eloquently understated and epic in scope, and a parable of ageless moral resonance, profoundly relevant to our times. In Oran, a coastal town in North Africa, the plague begins as a series of portents, unheeded by the people. It gradually becomes an omnipresent reality, obliterating all traces of the past and driving its victims to almost unearthly extremes of suffering, madness, and compassion.

Crit Out Of Books The Plague

The Plague is one of my favourite novels of 2019. My head is buzzing from all the proffered ideas, and the story and writing are excellent too. I also loved the fact that the stranded opera company kept performing Orpheus and Eurydice* Perfect! Anything else that I might say about this outstanding novel is bound to be trite nonsense. Fortunately there are many splendid reviews of it.##Although I have read Létranger/The Outsider in both French and English I forgot what a brilliant author Albert

The Plague is yet another book that I liked, despite the inability to fully understand the underlying themes. I finally comprehend that it is not necessary to understand a story to like it. Strange but it is true. Now I'm sounding philosophical myself. It cannot be helped. Reading philosophical fiction back to back can have an impression on your thinking!The story is about a plague that wraps the city of Oran, isolating the city completely from the outside world. Cut off from the world, parted

This book has been one of the most influential in my life. Camus uses the premise of a town infected by the plague and quarantined from the rest of the world to explore some of the great philosophical questions. I find his exploration of religion very astute--that God is either not able to prevent evil and is thus not omnipotent or that God is all powerful and thus condones evil. Either option to Camus is a God not worthy of worship. Many people read The Stranger and think Camus is a pessimist,

I read The Plague right after reading Swanns Way. Of course it wasnt a deliberate move. But as I moved on, I realized that reading of The Plague had rendered something quite remarkable in the way I realized and appreciated both works. Both works embody a reality. Swanns Way speaks of the reality that is long gone by and one wish to remember and cherish, whereas, The Plague makes one more acutely aware of the bleakness of actual reality when imposed through an epidemic such as plague. This book

"Treeless, glamourless, soulless, the town of Oran ends by seeming restful and, after a while, you go complacently to sleep there." The Plague is set in Oran, a city in Algeria that experiences a breakout of the Bubonic plague, and is soon placed under quarantine. We witness the changes among this community as they are cut off from the outside world; they experience all manners of emotions from hysteria, despondency, avarice, uncertainty,self-reflection and fear. The Plague is definitely a

I read this book into the night, a stubborn reader determined to torture herself with the despondency that lurks throughout this novel. I tuned into the feeling that exudes a person's futile attempt to escape and I could feel the helplessness of the characters in each breath I inhaled, in the overwhelming elucidation of exile spread across each page. I was reminded a bit of Saramago's Death at Intervals, except that I preferred the flow of this one.Thus, in a middle course between these heights

Ah, death; it's always there, isn't it? It is a terrible fate, doomed upon us all, that could take place at any time, in millions of different ways. The Jews who witnessed the holocaust are aware of this. The people of Haiti know this. The mother who lost her only child in a car accident is aware of this. Most individuals (and groups of individuals) spend their days fighting the fact of death, lying to themselves, using clever ways to avoid its ever-present reality. Looking death in its cold,
