Fear, isolation, and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame, and a few, like Dr. Rieux, resist the terror. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn immediate triumph when it was published in 1947, \u003ci\u003eThe Plague\u003c\/i\u003e is in part an allegory of France's suffering under the Nazi occupation, as well as a timeless story of bravery and determination against the precariousness of human existence. In this fresh yet careful translation, award-winning translator Laura Marris breathes new life into Albert Camus's ever-resonant tale. Restoring the restrained lyricism of the original French text, and liberating it from the archaisms and assumptions of the previous English translation, Marris grants English readers the closest access we have ever had to the meaning and searing beauty of \u003ci\u003eThe Plague\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis updated edition promises to add relevance and urgency to a classic novel of twentieth-century literature.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Algeria in 1913, ALBERT CAMUS published \u003ci\u003eThe Stranger\u003c\/i\u003e--now one of the most widely read novels of this century--in 1942.
