To read Camus is to experience a violent internal conflict. From the very first pages, you will have to recognize this writer's rebellion against preconceived notions, canned ideas, and the foolish life lived by the inhabitants of this planet. Camus's rebellion is not a reckless, boyish one, but a philosophical and highly conscious rebellion. "The Plague" is not just a novel Camus wrote to showcase the history of a city like Oran struck by the plague, but a violent earthquake that overturns the foundations of intellectual structure and shatters the peace you enjoyed before you started reading. Camus excels at returning his reader to the debate of existence, through a flood of enchanting ideas scattered by characters among the corpses of plague victims, or uttered in the terrible moments of dying. What is the purpose of human life? Perhaps there is no certain answer, and perhaps there are answers of salvation that only concern their possessors. Camus unleashes his plague, letting it tamper with people's fates over many pages, and when he decides to rein it in, he declares that it can never disappear, but rather hides in all places, waiting for the right time to start a new human meal.
