“Its relevance lashes you across the face.” —Stephen Metcalf, The Los Angeles Times Albert Camus' legendary novel about an epidemic ravaging the population of a North African coastal hamlet is a classic of twentieth-century literature, telling a harrowing story of human persistence and optimism in the face of unrelenting evil. The people of Oran are infected with a horrible illness that kills its victims in a horrifying and quick manner. As they are put into quarantine, they experience fear, loneliness, and claustrophobia. Each person reacts to the deadly disease in their own way: some accept fate, others seek blame, and a few, like Dr. Rieux, defy the dread. When it was first published in 1947, The Plague was an instant success. It is both an allegory of France's agony under Nazi rule and a timeless storey of human misery.

Albert Camus (French: [albɛʁ kamy]; 7 November 1913 - 4 January 1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist. His views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism. He wrote in his essay The Rebel that his whole life was devoted to opposing the philosophy of nihilism while still delving deeply into individual freedom. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957.

Camus did not consider himself to be an existentialist despite usually being classified as one, even in his lifetime. In a 1945 interview, Camus rejected any ideological associations: ""No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked..."".

Camus was born in Algeria to a Pied-Noir family, and studied at the University of Algiers from which he graduated in 1936. In 1949, Camus founded the Group for International Liaisons to ""denounce two ideologies found in both the USSR and the USA"".
