As the plague spreads, ordinary routines disappear and the inhabitants are forced to confront fear, separation and death. Through characters including Dr Bernard Rieux, Camus examines the different ways people respond to collective catastrophe. Some seek escape, others turn toward religion or self-interest, while others simply work to reduce suffering. The novel is both a gripping story of epidemic disease and a profound exploration of solidarity, responsibility and the human response to an apparently indifferent world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216443621715,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421129392467,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-plague-by-albert-camus-folio-society-668","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
