description: Here for your delectation is the SPECTACULAR &amp; RARE------------------THE PLAGUE by ALBERT CAMUS, Translated by STUART GILBERT /*RARE* DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT!!! DON’T STAY HOME WITHOUT IT!!! A gripping tale of human unrelieved horror, of survival and resilience, and of the ways in which humankind confronts death, The Plague is at once a masterfully crafted novel, eloquently understated and epic in scope, and a parable of ageless moral resonance, profoundly relevant to our times. In Oran, a coastal town in North Africa, the plague begins as a series of portents, unheeded by the people. It gradually becomes an omnipresent reality, obliterating all traces of the past and driving its victims to almost unearthly extremes of suffering, madness, and compassion. NOT TO BE MISSED!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! A FABULOUS COLLECTIBLE!!! This is the softcover only stated FIRST EDITION FROM 1948. This is the only stated Modern Library College Edition from 1948.
