The Plague
When a mysterious plague traps the citizens of Oran in a suffocating quarantine, ordinary lives are upended by fear, isolation, and the desperate struggle for meaning. Through the eyes of a weary doctor and a diverse cast of survivors, this profound novel explores how humanity responds to inevitable suffering and the quiet heroism found in daily resistance. It is a timeless meditation on the absurdity of existence and the enduring power of solidarity in the face of catastrophe.
