The peculiarity of the brilliant texts is that they are universally valid, their subjects returning to the circuit. A writer who marked the twentieth century, Albert Camus also knew how to express the tragic sensitivity of the human condition. Social life, religious life, all aspects of Oran city life are contaminated by the „microbe” of the plague. In this transparent allegory a symbolic epidemic has taken the place of Evil, which has multiple faces (war, occupation, concentration camp universe, tyranny and terror of authoritarian systems). But the plague also personifies the absurd, which is, in Camus’s vision, the essence of existence. The city of Oran, engulfed by the plague and isolated from the world, is an image of occupied but wider France - and the symbol of Earth, of the wandering and tiny planet, where it appeared the consciousness of man confronted with the evidence of the absurd. The diagnosis of „this strangely behaving bacillus” is difficult to establish and seems unbelievable, just as it is today, even if the times of the plague have long been considered revolting. Beyond the everyday premises of the epidemic, one can also decode those of a metaphysical nature (trivial existence, moral decline, nonsense and absurdity of urban life), to which the Camusian characters respond through action and solidarity. Since such a history is part of History, “it belongs to all of us”. The end of the novel calls for vigilance, which is imperative in the face of the inability to overcome evil once and for all: „the plague bacillus never dies and never disappears,” and „our victories will always be temporary” as long as there are premises for calamities. Thus, the Nobel Prize awarded to Camus in 1957 crowned a work that brings to light problems that are still posed to human consciousness today |
