Plague (French: La Peste) - a parabolic novel by Albert Camus published in 1947 in Paris by Éditions Gallimard; in Polish it was published in 1957 in a translation by Joanna Guze.
Classed as a work of 20th-century existentialist literature, it realistically tells the story of a plague epidemic in the Algerian city of Oran, then a French colony. The events are described from the point of view of a neutral narrator. The main character is the local doctor Bernard Rieux.
