The Plague (Albert Camus)


Albert Camus was a French philosopher, author, and journalist. He won the Nobel prize in Literature.Click here 
   



The Plague French: original title La Peste) is a novel by Albert Camus, published in 1947, that tells the story of a plague sweeping the French Algerian city of Oran. It asks a number of questions relating to the nature of destiny and the human condition. The characters in the book, ranging from doctors to vacationers to fugitives, all help to show the effects the plague has on a populace.


In January 1941, the twenty- eight year old French writer Albert Camus began work on a novel about a virus that spreads uncontrollable from animals to humans and ends up destroying half the population of a representative modern town. Click here.

The Plague (1992 film)


The Plague title:- La Peste is a 1992 Argentine-French- British drama film written and directed by Luis Puenzo. It is based on the novel La Peste by Albert Camus. It entered the competition at the 49th Venice International Film Festival .

The story focuses on the outbreak of plague in Oran in the year 194-, as it reaches epidemic proportions. The author traces the crescendo of human emotions from panic to the almost unendurable agony of isolation and death. The argument extends beyond the physical impact of the plague into metaphysical terrain with the realization that each one of us carries within is the plague of injustice, of inhumanity...Distinguished by the precision, the purity of its writing , the dignity of its presentation. 

Humans are social animals and thrive on interaction, so it's no surprise that so many have found social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic challenging. It can require constant risk assessment: How close is too close? How can we avoid infection and keep our loved ones safe, while also staying sane? What should we do when someone in our house develops a cough?

 1. Humanity- human self- centeredness VS human sacrifice     

Many buy food with the money they make each day and have no savings to fall back on. In the novel of The Plague , Albert Camus said that there are many people sacrifice their lives for fight against Plague for save humans lives like doctor Bernard Rieux who sacrificed their lives for save Human from this disease.

Thank you....
