Product Description
Translated by Stuart GilbertAmazon.com Review
The Nobel prize-winning Albert Camus, who died in 1960, could not have known how severely current his existentialist novel of epidemic and death would remain. Set in Algeria, in northern Africa, The Plague is a powerful study of human life and its meaning in the face of a deadly virus that sweeps analytically through the city, taking a vast percentage of the population with it.

I tend to agree with some minority reviewers that this book is dull and dull. It has some appealing thoughts here and there, but that is all. All in all, the book is reasonably over rated.

This book is a real disappointment after reading “The Weirder”. It is effectively a journal-like chronicle on hurt the plague caused to a town.
There is not much more to it. Characters are dull and uninteresting unlike persons in “The Weirder”. There is not much of a plot apart from chronicling the plague progression and some booring people it is killing.
Two lessons I learned from reading it: don’t catch the plague and don’t read this book.

I establish the book extremely dull and dull. I can on the additional hand know and apprecitate why it’s regarded as a classic. Camus’es style of writing conveys emotions very well and is more suited for a people who are very much into philosophy.
Camus used the word “abstract” in a way I never thought of using it and establish that very appealing. The plague represents an “abstraction” because it is so hard to comprehend. The plague kills many people and forces everyone in the city into internment camps. The book centers around three characters one of whom is a doctor. The three characters are unusually contemplative and philosophical. This is what dulled the book for me. The characters simply didn’t seem like real people and I could not see them as anyone I’d ever meet. Another thing about the tale that bothered me was the fact that the events described was a fictional account of events taking place in an Algerian town, yet Arabs are seldom mentioned. There is no mention at all of the Arabic language or Islam. There is no trace of Arabic or Islamic influence anywhere. No one in the book has an Arabic or Islamic name, there are no Muslims anywhere. There are many parts of the book but that mention Christianity and churches. So it’s also very culturally biased.
