In both his essays and his fiction, Albert Camus (1913—1960) de-ployed his lyric eloquence in defense against despair, providing an affirmation of the brave assertion of humanity in the face of a universe devoid of order or meaning.The Plague–written in 1947 and still profoundly relevant–is a riveting tale of horror, survival, and resilience in the face of a devastating epidemic. The Fall (1956), which takes the form of an astonishing confession by a French lawyer in a seedy bar, is a haunting parable of modern conscience in the face of evil. The six stories of Exile and the Kingdom (1957) represent Camus at the height of his narrative powers, masterfully depicting his characters– from a renegade missionary to an adulterous wife –at decisive moments of revelation. Set beside their fictional counterparts, Camus’s famous essays “” and “Reflections on the Guillotine” are all the more powerful and philosophically daring, confirming his towering place in twentieth-century thought.

THE PLAGUEI am only reading this book now, at age 65, because I was choked nearly to death with The Stranger in my merry school-days. When I was assigned to read it in French III (high-school) it was moderately interesting. But when I had to read it AGAIN in French IV the next year, I figured that was enough. No such luck! I was assigned the same book in college French, twice! By that time, I had my own view of Meursault: a man completely without affect, and a killer.But I kept seeing rave reviews of The Plague, and finally picked it up in the excellent Everymans Library edition:The Plague, The Fall, Exile and the Kingdom, and Selected Essays (Everymans Library). And I got a huge surprise. This is certainly one of the best novels of the 20th century: it is extremely well-written, and packed with interesting characters and incidents, all under the over-arching suspense of Oran under the plague, especially after Oran is placed under quarantine and nobody is allowed to leave.A situation like this is ideal for observing the human character under enormous stress, and this was the biggest surprise for me: Camus penetrating psychological insights, which always rang true. For example, a doctor separated from his wife by the quarantine would actually spend most of the day thinking of her, rather than the deadly threat he dealt with every day. A journalist trapped in Oran decides to escape to join his wife in Paris: I dont think I was brought into this world to write newspaper articles, but I may have been brought into this world to live with a woman. An attempted suicide (Cottard) suddenly becomes the most cheerful man in town. Why?This is a gripping novel. You probably suspect that quite a bit of it is grisly; its impossible to write about plague epidemics from the point of view of a doctor without describing the horrific sufferings of the victims.But above it all ring out loud and clear Camus views of the modern philosophical dilemmas. He includes some sermons from a Catholic priest, and other points of view, but in the end his main conclusion comes from Dr. Rieux, who simply states that the self-evident shines with its own blazing truth, and the obvious thing is for everyone to pull together before the plague kills half the people in Oran.Reading this magnificent novel immediately put Camus (for me) among the two greatest French novelists of the last century, along with Marcel Proust.Note: if you read French, Amazon sells the original version (La peste (table des matières hyperliée) (French Edition) for an excellent price.
