About this listen

In the small coastal city of Oran, Algeria, rats begin rising up from the filth only to die as bloody heaps in the streets. Shortly after, an outbreak of the bubonic plague erupts and envelops the human population. Albert Camus' The Plague is a brilliant and haunting rendering of human perseverance and futility in the face of a relentless terror born of nature.

Truth profound

A meandering narrative that throws light on humanity and our ways. Builds slowly. Leaves an impact.

Not at all what i had hoped for

Going off the other reviews i must have listened to a different version. Narrator could not pronounce certain words and i found the narration droll/boring
The story itself was confusing as it jumped between different scenarios which had/have no real bearing on the theme of the story.
Dialogue issues
Not worth it!
