A haunting tale of human resilience in the face of unrelieved horror, Camus' novel about a bubonic plague ravaging the people of a North African coastal town is a classic of twentieth-century literature.

In his nobel prize acceptance speech, a.camus said a writer's duty is twofold: "the refusal to lie about what one knows and the resistance against oppression", my 1st holiday re-read of camus' novels 。。
看这本书这段时间自己工作上也是前途一片灰暗,觉得那种绝望的不知道什么时候才有转机的心情真的描写得太准确了。书看完了,自己的命运却还是未知,但至少每天都有做些事情,对医生来说plague is never ending defeat, 生活也是啊,还不是要用力活着。
