The Plague - Thryft

Dark odyssey into human existence under epidemic.

"The Plague" could be a good read for those who enjoy philosophical reflections wrapped with fictional elements. The unique feature of this book is its ability to explore the human psyche during times of crisis, thereby giving insights into the complexities of human nature. The book also provides a pertinent reflection of how society reacts to pandemics and epidemics. Overall, "The Plague" is an ideal read for those who are interested in a deeper understanding of existentialism and human behavior.

Description

'A story for our, and all, times' GuardianSet in a town at the mercy of an epidemic, The Plague is an odyssey into the darkness and absurdity of human existence.----------------------------------- 'On the morning of April 16, Dr Rieux emerged from his consulting-room and came across a dead rat in the middle of the landing.' It starts with the rats. Vomiting blood, they die in their hundreds, then in their thousands. When the rats are all gone, the citizens begin to fall sick. Like the rats, they too die in ever greater numbers.The authorities quarantine the town. Cut off, the terrified townspeople must face this horror alone. Some resign themselves to death or the whims of fate. Others seek someone to blame or dream of revenge. One is determined to escape.But a few, like stoic Dr Rieux, stand together to fight the terror. A monstrous evil has entered their lives, but they will never surrender to it.They will resist the plague.­­­-----------------------------------'A matchless fable of fear, courage and cowardice' Independent
