  • "L'histoire se déroule à Oran, en Algérie, pendant une épidémie de peste. Sous les yeux du docteur Rieux, le 'mal' sévit et modifie les comportements des habitants de la ville : peur, enfermement, souffrance Une métaphore de la fragilité de l'homme et une troublante allégorie du fascisme."

  • "Albert Camus' erfolgreichster Roman in der neuen Übersetzung von Uli Aumüller <<Die Pest>>, 1947 in Frankreich erschienen, gehört zu den Klassikern der Weltliteratur. Der Roman wurde zumeist als politische Allegorie oder als existentialistische Parabel gelesen. Albert Camus seziert hellsichtig das menschliche Handeln im Angesicht der Katastrophe: Die algerische Stadt Oran wird von einer rätselhaften Erscheinung heimgesucht. Die Ratten kommen aus den Kanälen und verenden auf den Straßen. Kurze Zeit später sterben die ersten Menschen an einem heimtückischen Fieber. Schließlich erkennt man: Die Pest wütet in der Stadt. Erst nach einem scheinbar endlosen Jahr verschwindet die Seuche, und die Überlebenden feiern ihre Erlösung. Natürlich wissen wir, daß die Pest ihr Gutes hat, daß sie die Augen öffnet, zum Nachdenken zwingt. Aber gleichgültig, welche Größe einzelne ihr abgewinnen, muß man ein Irrer, ein Verbrecher oder ein Feigling sein, um die Pest zu bejahen."

  • "From the Publisher: From one of the most brilliant and influential thinkers of the twentieth century-two novels, six short stories, and a pair of essays in a single volume. In both his essays and his fiction, Albert Camus (1913-1960) deployed his lyric eloquence in defense against despair, providing an affirmation of the brave assertion of humanity in the face of a universe devoid of order or meaning. The Plague-written in 1947 and still profoundly relevant-is a riveting tale of horror, survival, and resilience in the face of a devastating epidemic. The Fall (1956), which takes the form of an astonishing confession by a French lawyer in a seedy Amsterdam bar, is a haunting parable of modern conscience in the face of evil. The six stories of Exile and the Kingdom (1957) represent Camus at the height of his narrative powers, masterfully depicting his characters-from a renegade missionary to an adulterous wife-at decisive moments of revelation. Set beside their fictional counterparts, Camus's famous essays "The Myth of Sisyphus" and "Reflections on the Guillotine" are all the more powerful and philosophically daring, confirming his towering place in twentieth-century thought."

  • "La Peste is a novel by Albert Camus, published in 1947, that tells the story of medical workers finding solidarity in their labour as the Algerian city of Oran is swept by a plague. It asks a number of questions relating to the nature of destiny and the human condition. The characters in the book, ranging from doctors to vacationers to fugitives, all help to show the effects the plague has on a populace. -- Description from http://en.wikipedia.org (Jan. 20, 2012)."
  • "In the small coastal city of Iran, Algeria, rats begin rising from the filth only to die as bloody heaps in the streets. And just as mysteriously as it appeared, the rodent problem seems to vanish. Shortly after, hoever, many local residents experience intense fevers and then perish--victims of the unseen menace of the bubonic plague. And as life in the town comes to a halt, the survivors attempt to come to terms with their own mortality and the rigors of isolation."

Nakonec je přece jen přemožena hrdiny, kteří neustupují v nerovném boji, statečně jí vzdorují a dokazují sílu a moc lidské solidarity. Román vyšel v r. 1947 a byl přijat jako velký úspěch v literárním zobrazení hnutí odporu."
  • "The townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a deadly plague, which condemns its victims to a horrifying death. Fear, isolation and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine, each responding in their own way to the lethal bacillus: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame and a few, like Dr Rieux, resist the terror."
