### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    We Understand This Now
  

*by A***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2021*

It certainly was topical. I found the characters hard to delineate. (Take notes.) It was, I thought, rather in the style of Hawthorne - surprising for such a recent book. If you're not sick (ha) of plague and stories of plague, it's pretty interesting.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Lacking paragraphs and page numbers.
  

*by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2023*

The book itself is fine and a great translation. My biggest problem are that they do not add spaces for paragraph breaks, so it feels like reading the old man and the sea. Another that I have is there are no page numbers. Finally, I don’t like how the chapters are hidden mid paragraph. You are looking for Roman numerals that are the same size as the regular text.

    Plague and facism - wisdom from the past
  

*by F***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2020*

Camus' story is older than WWII, and it is timely for 2020 America.  The plague that closed a North African metropolis in this fiction was carried by rats, and was ended by cold weather.  While covid-19 behaves differently, people living through the current plague may see their situations and feelings reflected in Camus' story.  Then and now, these range from hope and impatience at lockdowns, to loneliness, anxiety, and a need to live life fully right now - despite the dangers of crowding into bars and events, and being intimate with people, when anyone could be infected.Camus develops a range characters - dedicated doctors and volunteers, sick people and their family members, unemployed who become essential workers, a con artist who thrives on the chaos, an official who grows a heart when his son dies, a preacher who decides to embrace horrors to keep his faith, friends exulting in the release of a forbidden swim at sea, ...and lovers struggling to keep love alive when life demands hard hearts or enforced distance.Parallel to the plague, then and now, runs the threat of facism.  Camus resists preaching politics openly, but the allegory is powerful, in the characters and their struggles, and in the disease fought like a war.  The novel concludes with celebrations that the plague has ended, reunions of lucky lovers, and a caution.  For the deadly germs can lie in hiding, for years, only to rise again.Did we think facism was defeated in 1945?  Are new strains alive in 2020?  The Plague by Camus does not have the answers, but it has some wisdom to help us better navigate the present and the future.
