BookPal × TalezoLa peste / The Plague
Ambientada a fines de los años cuarenta del siglo XX en Orán, La peste narra las vicisitudes de una ciudad cerrada durante un inesperado brote de peste bubónica. La trama es sencilla y va desde el contagio inicial hasta el final de la epidemia, pero la hondura de sus planteamientos, así como la humanidad de sus personajes, hace del libro uno de los más memorables de la literatura moderna.
Ya en fechas de su publicación original, el autor confirmó lo que muchos lectores veían por sí solos: la epidemia era una alegoría de la ocupación nazi en Francia. Sin embargo, ese paralelismo no agota la capacidad profética 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 heroísmo de las personas ordinarias que actúan de manera extraordinaria por dignidad. Novela imprescindible del Premio Nobel de Literatura, La peste no solo perdura como una de las grandes obras de imaginación moral del siglo pasado, sino que sigue orientádonos 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.
