«La pesta» is the novel by Albert Camus, translated by Joan Fuster, published by labutxaca in 2005 (254 pages).
The plot follows Dr. Rieux as bubonic plague ravages Oran, an Algerian city cut off from the outside world. Throughout the epidemic, the residents experience fear, separation and loss, but also discover acts of resistance and solidarity. Camus turns this extreme situation into a reflection on the human condition, responsibility, and the absurd.
The work was originally published in 1947. This edition, with a translation by Joan Fuster, appeared in 2005; Albert Camus received the Nobel Prize in Literature.
