What this book is about
Le roman de 1947 d'Albert Camus se déroule à Oran, en Algérie, pendant une épidémie de peste bubonique. Le Dr Rieux et ses compagnons luttent contre la maladie qui isole la ville. Roman allégorique souvent interprété comme une métaphore de l'Occupation nazie, il explore la solidarité humaine, l'absurde et la résilience face à une mort omniprésente. Édition française de ce classique de la littérature mondiale.
