A Peste
by Albert Camus
Na manhã de um dia 16 de abril dos anos de 1940, o doutor Bernard Rieux sai do seu consultório e tropeça num rato morto. Este é o primeiro sinal de uma epidemia de peste que em breve toma conta de toda a cidade de Orão, na Argélia. Sujeita a quarentena, esta torna-se um território irrespirável e os seus habitantes são conduzidos até estados de sofrimento, de loucura, mas também de compaixão de proporções desmedidas. Uma história arrebatadora sobre o horror, a sobrevivência e a resiliência do ser humano, A Peste é uma parábola de ressonância intemporal, um romance magistralmente construído, que, publicado originalmente em 1947, consagrou em definitivo Albert Camus como um dos autores fundamentais da literatura moderna.

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…"
