Summary

In the small coastal city of Oran, Algeria, rats begin rising up from the filth only to die as bloody heaps in the streets. Shortly after, an outbreak of the bubonic plague erupts and envelops the human population. Albert Camus' The Plague is a brilliant and haunting rendering of human perseverance and futility in the face of a relentless terror born of nature.

James can't pronounce the French names properly, but boy does he try. The audio quality is also not great.

Good book, poor performance

An absolutely spectacular story so beautifully written. The ever spiralling fall into despair is gleamed with moments of such pure humanity and clear conviction of philosophy. The performance is also well delivered with the code switching when the orator attempts the French names making for a lightening of dark moments.

Heart wrenching clarity

A meandering narrative that throws light on humanity and our ways. Builds slowly. Leaves an impact.

Truth profound
