Classic & Older Gothic
by Albert Camus
When plague descends on the Algerian city of Oran, its citizens are sealed off from the world and forced to confront isolation, mortality, and the absurd. Albert Camus chronicles their struggle through the eyes of a doctor, a journalist, and others who resist despair with defiant solidarity. A profound meditation on suffering, resilience, and what it means to be human in the face of the inexplicable.
