The Plague | Albert Camus

The Plague (La Peste) was published in 1947 and is widely considered as Albert Camus’s most successful novel. It tells the story of a plague epidemic in the Algerian coastal town of Oran, where thousands of rats are found dead all over the city.
Camus’s absurdist philosophy is at the background of the novel. He stresses the powerlessness of the individual to affect his destiny in an indifferent world.
Illness, exile, and separation are themes that were present in Camus’s life and his reflections upon them form a vital counterpoint to the allegory. This makes his description of the plague and the pain of loneliness exceptionally vivid and heartfelt.

    *“After the plague, I’ll do this, after the plague I’ll do that… They are ruining their lives, instead of staying calm. And they don’t even realise what they have going for them... I think they are miserable because they don’t let themselves go.”* - Albert Camus Support this channel: www.patreon.com/eternalised KZread Member Perks: kzread.info/dron/qos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA.htmljoin Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalised PayPal: www.paypal.com/paypalme/eternalisedofficial Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.com

    Such a beautiful novel by Camus it makes us see the situations from so many different perspectives. This video explains everything flawlessly. In these trying times when the world is dealing with a pandemic I was able to truly connect with this novel. You have my gratitude for creating such a beautiful video.

    Camus leaves part of himself in every sentence he had had typed beyond the subject matter, it touches our inner core of oneness the individual within all humans an utter aloneness and the means we use to combat or enhance that emotion, its consequences. The Plague vividly brings all aspects of such universal phenomenon so common to each of us but so poorly understood or misunderstood throughout life spans of generations. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, version 👍💚

    thank you. i get goosebumps when all that camus said is actually what happened even today, passively wasting time. government wait and see to instead of taking action.. its true that if you want to predict the future, you must go back to the past..

    I was introduced to Albert Camus last year by another KZread Channel: School of Life. The Plague made so much sense as one lives through a real pandemic. All the characters (and their backstories) are greatly devised. "It is the absurd condition of intense desire to continue living and condemned to death." Woah! I didn't know about Cottard though 🤓

    Thank you. It really depends on what philosopher or branch of philosophy you like. I for instance like existentialism, stoicism, Carl Jung and eastern philosophy. I've made a list of books I'd like to read here: eternalisedofficial.com/books I may do videos in the future on the top 5 or 10 existentialist books to read, still need to do some reading though! It may be a good idea to read an introduction to the philosophy as well such as a Cambridge Companion.

    Camus excelled in writing genuine " philosophical " novels . Many others have tried ( Sartre / Iris Murdoch etc ) but in my opinion he is the only one who succeeded in combining the elements of the novel with his philosophical views. Not sure about Beckett ? Was he a serious philosopher or simply a misanthrope ? Albeit a misanthrope who could turn a phrase.. ?
