This article is about the Albert Camus novel. For the disease, see Black Death.

The Plague ( fr. La Peste) is a novel by Albert Camus, published in 1947.

The story of medical workers finding solidarity in their labor as a North African city of the name of Oran is swept by a plague. Generally taken as a metaphoric treatment of the French resistance to Nazi occupation during World War II, it asks a number of questions relating to the nature of destiny and the human condition.
