«La peste» (extraits) is the 1971 edition in French and paperback, 160 pages, with selected passages from Albert Camus's novel.
The narrative is set in Oran, a coastal city in North Africa, where the plague goes from being an ignored omen to an omnipresent reality. The characters go through suffering, madness and compassion, in a story that works as a parable about death, resistance and moral responsibility.
