Camus, Albert,

The plague / Albert Camus ; translated by Robin Buss with an introduction by Tony Judt. - London : Penguin, 2002. - 237 pages ; 20 cm.

This translation first published: Allen Lane The Penguin Press, 2001.

Classic thriller. The townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a deadly plague, which condemns its victims to a swift and horrifying death. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame or revenge, and a few, like the unheroic hero Dr Rieux, resist the terror.
