The Plague by Albert Camus

Description

The Plague Novel by Albert Camus

Camus has an amazing knack for writing about human struggles and suffering in a realistic way. The many descriptions of the citizens of the port city of Oran, Algeria during an onslaught of plague really sucks the reader in and forces them to realize the absurdity of life, illness and death. Most of the time, Camus was able to convey his absurdist and humanist ideas through the characters in ways that didn’t seem too intrusive or didactic, but the book may nonetheless come across to some as being too philosophical. There are many interpretations of the novel, but I prefer to think that Camus simply meant it as a story of the absurd struggle during absurd times.
The style was amazing.

I really appreciated the beautiful, original metaphors and imagery, particularly the following: “the sea spread out before them, a gently heaving expanse of deep-piled velvet, supple and sleek as a creature of the wild.” This is just one of many stunningly delightful descriptions. Stuart Gilbert did an amazing job, although he did not always follow the exact phrasing of the original French. Nonetheless, the book is wonderful and a joy to read.
