A peste
by Albert Camus
A vida após a peste. Um romance de um dos mais importantes e representativos autores do século XX e Prêmio Nobel de Literatura Romance que destaca a mudança na vida da cidade de Orã, na Argélia, depois que ela é atingida por uma terrível peste, transmitida por ratos, que dizima a população. É inegável a dimensão política deste livro, um dos mais lidos do pós-guerra, uma vez que a cidade assolada pela epidemia lembra a ocupação nazista na França durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. A peste é uma obra de resistência em todos os sentidos da palavra. Narrado do ponto de vista de um médico envolvido nos esforços para conter a doença, o texto de Albert Camus ressalta a solidariedade, a solidão, a morte e outros temas fundamentais para a compreensão dos dilemas do homem moderno.

In 1949, Camus founded the Group for International Liaisons within the Revolutionary Union Movement, which was a group opposed to some tendencies of the surrealistic movement of André Breton. Camus was the second-youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature - after Rudyard Kipling - when he became the first African-born writer to receive the award. He is the shortest-lived of any literature laureate to date, having died in an automobile accident just over two years after receiving the award. He is often cited as a proponent of existentialism, the philosophy that he was associated with during his own lifetime, but Camus himself rejected this particular label. In an interview in 1945, Camus rejected any ideological associations: "No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked…"
