In the small coastal city of Oran, Algeria, rats begin rising up from the filth only to die as bloody heaps in the streets. Shortly after, an outbreak of the bubonic plague erupts and envelops the human population. Albert Camus' The Plague is a brilliant and haunting rendering of human perseverance and futility in the face of a relentless terror born of nature.

Another reviewer’s extremely damning review of the reader’s performance here was off putting but I decided to make up my own mind and downloaded the book.
The reading may not be perfect but it is never less than committed and expressive - there is a lot of feeling here and I was able to enjoy the whole book without resenting the reader.
I was supposed to study La Peste for A level in 1972 but I was a bad student so I knew little about it until this. Now I can’t believe they gave this to 17/18 year olds! It is quite austere but ultimately inspiring. Camus validates sympathy and selfless dedication to alleviating the suffering of others because ….. because what else is there to do as a human being?

Great story and narration. I enjoy this audiobook. It was easy to listen and to image how things developed. Reminded me of covid19 pandemic.

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the vibrant cast of characters who inhabit Oran. The narrator's unusual voice suits the tone of the narrative perfectly.

Captivating performance of a compelling story
