«La peste» is a novel by Albert Camus, published by RBA in paperback (189 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative takes place in Oran, a city that becomes isolated when the plague is declared. Camus describes how its inhabitants react to the disease and confinement: fears, betrayals and individualism emerge, but also solidarity, compassion and a spirit of collaboration; a reflection on the human condition in times of crisis.
The translation of this edition is by Rosa Chacel. The work was originally published in 1947 and received the Prix des Critiques.
For readers of classic literature and literary fiction, interested in novels with a philosophical background about solidarity and the human condition.
