by Albert Camus (Author)

La peste, la gran obra del autor franc s que se ha convertido en uno de los libros m s vendidos del momento en Europa.

Ambientada a fines de los a os cuarenta del siglo XX en Or n, La peste narra las vicisitudes de una ciudad cerrada durante un inesperado brote de peste bub nica. La trama es sencilla y va desde el contagio inicial hasta el final de la epidemia, pero la hondura de sus planteamientos, as como la humanidad de sus personajes, hace del libro uno de los m s memorables de la literatura moderna.

Ya en fechas de su publicaci n original, el autor confirm lo que muchos lectores ve an por s solos: la epidemia era una alegor a de la ocupaci n nazi en Francia. Sin embargo, ese paralelismo no agota la capacidad prof tica del relato, que advierte sobre los peligros invisibles que acechan a toda sociedad moderna.

Sin falso voluntarismo, Camus defiende la rectitud y la solidaridad generales, poniendo de relieve el hero smo de las personas ordinarias que act an de manera extraordinaria por dignidad. Novela imprescindible del Premio Nobel de Literatura, La peste no solo perdura como una de las grandes obras de imaginaci n moral del siglo pasado, sino que sigue orient donos en tiempos de desconcierto.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Its relevance lashes you across the face." --Stephen Metcalf, The Los Angeles Times - "A redemptive book, one that wills the reader to believe, even in a time of despair." --Roger Lowenstein, The Washington Post

A haunting tale of human resilience and hope in the face of unrelieved horror, Albert Camus' iconic novel about an epidemic ravaging the people of a North African coastal town is a classic of twentieth-century literature.

The townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a deadly plague, which condemns its victims to a swift and horrifying death. Fear, isolation and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame, and a few, like Dr. Rieux, resist the terror.

An immediate triumph when it was published in 1947, The Plague is in part an allegory of France's suffering under the Nazi occupation, and a timeless story of bravery and determination against the precariousness of human existence.
