The plague is the house of Nineveh

Author's name: Albert Camus Publisher: Ninawa for Studies, Publishing, and Distribution Year of publication: 2016 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: To read Camus means that you will live a fierce internal struggle. You will have, from the first pages, to realize this writer's rebellion against ready-made concepts, canned ideas, and the foolish life that the human of this planet lives. And Camus's rebellion is not a childish reckless rebellion, but a philosophical rebellion fully aware to the furthest extent. The Plague is not only a novel written by Camus to showcase the history of the city of Oran struck by the plague, but also a violent earthquake that overturns the foundation of intellectual building and shakes the calm you enjoyed before starting to read. Camus masters returning his reader to the debate of existence, through a flood of enchanting ideas, scattered by the characters among the bodies of plague victims, or through their speech in terrible moments of dying. What is the goal of man in life? Perhaps there is no certain answer, and perhaps there are salvation answers, that only matter to their owners. Camus unleashes his plague from its reins, letting it tamper with people's destinies through long pages, and when he decides to restrain it, he declares that it cannot disappear, but rather hide in all places, waiting for the right time to start a human feast again.
