From the publisher: Oran, a large port on the Algerian coast, becomes afflicted by the plague in French colonial times and the novel is a story of a community like any other, suddenly impotent in the face of a destructive force to which it must not submit. The novel can also be read as a country suffering under occupation in World War 2 or the human race rebelling against an absurd universe, both major themes in Camus' writings.
