Fear, isolation and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame, and a few, like Dr. Rieux, resist the terror.An immediate triumph when it was published in 1947, The Plague is in part an allegory of France's suffering under the Nazi occupation, and a timeless story of bravery and determination against the precariousness of human existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLike New\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51872467943712,"sku":"NEW0679720219","price":56.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/514w8W0XXUL.jpg?v=1781714679","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-plague-0679720219","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
