Pesten
by Albert Camus
Det börjar med råttorna. Snart därefter insjuknar de första människorna. Den algeriska staden Oran hemsöks av pesten och blir en stad i belägringstillstånd. Invånarna svarar på paniken och skräcken som sprider sig på olika sätt: vissa ger upp, andra söker syndabockar. Några få, som doktor Bernard Rieux, tar upp kampen mot den dödliga sjukdomen. Camus roman från 1947 om rädsla, mod och motstånd hör till världslitteraturens klassiker.

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…"
