Overview

La peste es una novela del escritor francés Albert Camus (1913-1960). Publicada en 1947, cuenta la historia de unos doctores que descubren el sentido de la solidaridad en su labor humanitaria en la ciudad argelina de Orán, mientras esta es azotada por una plaga. Los personajes del libro, en un amplio abanico que va desde médicos a turistas o fugitivos, contribuyen a mostrar los efectos que una plaga puede tener en una determinada población.

Se piensa que la obra está basada en la epidemia de cólera que sufrió la misma ciudad de Orán durante 1849 tras la colonización francesa, a pesar de estar ambientada en el siglo XX.1 La población de Orán había sido diezmada por varias epidemias repetidas veces antes de publicar Camus la novela.

About the Author

About The Author

Albert Camus (1913-1960) was an Algerian-born French author, philosopher, and journalist. He is generally considered one of the fathers of Existentialism along with Jean-Paul Sartre (though Camus is famously quoted as saying "I am not an Existentialist"). Camus is most well known for his books The Stranger and The Plague, which have become classic examples of Absurdist and Existential Literature. In 1957, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
