Title: brilliant classic novel
Review: This novel, written by the great existentialist Albert Camus, is one of the greatest novels that I have ever read. It is far better than even The Stranger, also by Camus, or even Graham Greene's The Heart of the Matter. It is the story of a cluster of characters, each in his own way quite well developed. Of course, the physician stands out as the main protagonist. They reside in a city that is quarantined to prevent the spread of a plague that, while tragic in its own right, brings the characters to new self-understanding and leads each to new behavioral highs or lows. It is great reading, it is not too long so it can be read in a day or so, and it is sure to offer the reader many opportunities for self-examination (which, I found, takes longer than reading the book). I give this an A+ and it is among the works that I most highly recommend!
