Book Review 4: The Plague by Albert Camus

Title: The Plague
Author: Albert Camus (translated by Stuart Gilbert)
Published: American Library College Editions, New York: 1948
Pages: 276
Total pages: 503
Text number: 4
Read for: Apocalyptic Themes in Literature course
In brief: A literally simple, thematically complex text in which a plague descends upon a quiet, average, mundane city, leaving the inhabitants in disease and exile. Characters are forced to come to terms with the plague in their own ways, exposing Camus's philosophy of "comprehension." It is an apocalyptic text that deals with revelation and the end of the world (as we know it) without the influence of God.
