La Peste: The Plague (Stuart Gilbert Translation) France 1947

THE PLAGUE, which won the Prix des Critiques in 1947, is considered by many to be the French author’s finest book.
In the town of Oran, thousands of rats begin to die in the streets. Hysteria develops and local newspapers report the incident. Authorities responding to public pressure order the collection & cremation of the rats, unaware that the collection itself is the catalyst for the spread of the bubonic plague.

The narrator of the chronicle reveals his identity and states and that he tried to present an objective view of the events. The narrator reflects on the epidemic and reaches the conclusion that there is more to admire than to despise in humans.
