Quand la sonnerie a encore retenti, que la porte du box s'est ouverte, c'est le silence de la salle qui est monte vers moi, le silence, et cette singuliere sensation que j'ai eue lorsque j'ai constate que le jeune journaliste avait detourne les yeux. Je n'ai pas regarde du cote de Marie. Je n'en ai pas eu le temps parce que le president m'a dit dans une forme bizarre que j'aurais la tete tranchee sur une place publique au nom du peuple francais...

320 lk Põhja-Aafrika rannikul asuvas Orani linnas algab katk mitme kuulutusliku sündmusega, mida inimesed kummatigi tähele ei pane. Järk-järgult saab tõvest aga kõike ja kõiki ümbritsev reaalsus, mis kustutab mineviku ning paiskab oma ohvrid äärmuslikku kannatuste jadasse, hullusesse, aga ka kaastundesse. Neutraalseks jääda sooviv katkukroonika kirjeldab fakte ja arve ning näitab linnas toimuvaid muutusi. See on lugu raugematust õudusest, ellujäämisest ja vastupanust, eelkõige...

The townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a deadly plague, which condemns its victims to a swift and horrifying death. Fear, isolation and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame, and a few, like Dr Rieux, resist the terror.An immediate triumph when it was published in 1947, The Plague is in part an allegory of France's suffering under the Nazi occupation, and a story...

Once overshadowed by Sartre, Camus has proved the more durable of the two most celebrated French writer-philosophers of the last century. This collection of his work makes the reasons for his survival self-evident. In prose of bleak but piercing clarity, Camus cuts to the heart of each story he tells. After The Outsider (also published in Everyman) The Plague is his most powerful novel, at once an account of heroic attempts to contain an epidemic in Algeria and a parable of the human condition....

The unfinished manuscript of The First Man was discovered in the wreckage of car accident in which Camus died in 1960.

The 'first man' is Jacques Cormery, whose poverty-stricken childhood in Algiers is made bearable by his love for his silent and illiterate mother, and by the teacher who transforms his view of the world. The most autobiographical of Camus's novels,...

The stories of Exile and the Kingdom explore the dilemma of being an outsider - even in one's own country - and of allegiance. With intense power and lyricism, Camus evokes beautiful but harsh landscapes, whether the shimmering deserts of his native Algeria or the wild, mysterious jungles of Brazil. Here a Frenchwoman is gradually seduced by the sheer difference of North Africa, a mutilated renegade is driven mad by the cruelty of his own people, and a barrel-maker watches the slow decline...
