Ciuma
by Albert Camus
In Oran sute de sobolani incep sa moara pe strazi, iar operatiunea de stringere a acestora declanseaza o epidemie de ciuma. La presiunile medicilor, printre care se numara si doctorul Rieux, personajul principal al cartii, autoritatile reactioneaza, dar o fac lent si sovaitor, astfel ca epidemia se propaga rapid. Pina la urma, in Oran se instituie starea de carantina, iar locuitorii nu mai au voie sa paraseasca orasul. Astfel, in acest spatiu inchis, unde oamenii traiesc sub spectrul mortii iminente, se desfasoara o serie de drame individuale, care ilustreaza reactia unei comunitati si, concomitent, a membrilor ei in fata unei catastrofe. Aparut in 1947, Ciuma este considerat unul dintre cele mai profunde si mai influente romane ale secolului trecut. Departe de a fi doar o naratiune despre ciuma, el vorbeste in egala masura despre marile catastrofe ale epocii, despre ciuma maronie ce a devastat Europa. Lasitate, daruire, nesabuinta, iubire, credinta si disperare, toate se amesteca si se impletesc intr-o carte despre umanitate in conditii limita.

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…"
