Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has upset the world....much was halted. Readers began seeking a book that could help them understand the epidemic of our era: many around the world found The Plague by Albert Camus. A classic like The Plague, written in 1947, helps tell us about the era that we are now in now. Camus talks about a state of being, the solitude of people, isolation, the fight against the plague, desperation, and finally victory against the virus, as well as a sense of community that has been rediscovered. This book gives us an important lesson: in the time of a pandemic, we must set aside individual happiness so that only collective happiness exists.
