The Plague is a novel by the writer Albert Camus, published in 1947. It tells the story of some doctors who discover the meaning of solidarity in their humanitarian work in the city, while it is hit by a devastating epidemic of bubonic plague.

The novel involves a philosophical reflection: the meaning of existence when one lacks God and universal morality. Emphasis is placed on the idea that, ultimately, man has no control over anything, the irrationality of life is inevitable, the plague represents the absurd, whose theory Camus himself helped to define.
