ISBN 978-1-86478-081-9
The smartstudy® English guide to The Plague explores the
lasting impact of Albert Camus’s gripping novel, examining its historical
context and continuing relevance. First published in 1947, it is often
read as an allegory for French suffering under Nazi occupation, but its
themes of courage, complacency and morality also illustrate, in broader
terms, the best and worst of humanity.
