A classic 1947 novel by [[Albert Camus]], '''''The Plague''''', on the surface, tells the story of an epidemic of [[The Plague|the bubonic plague]] that besets the Algerian city of Oran, imprisoning the citizens behind quarantine. The protagonists, including Dr. Bernard Rieux, a man named Jean Tarrou, a visiting journalist Raymond Rambert, and a city clerk Joseph Grand must respond to the plague and find their place in the ensuing depressing conditions, while philosophizing on the nature of suffering and the proper response thereto.
