{"product_id":"book-nst1","title":"The Plague","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe people of Oran, a coastal town in North Africa, are in the grip of a deadly plague that condemns its victims to a swift and horrifying death. The plague begins with a series of unheeded warnings; panic, isolation, and claustrophobia soon follow, as the townspeople are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in their own way: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame, and a few, like Dr. Rieux, resist the terror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eAn immediate triumph when it was published in 1947, Albert Camus' \u003cem\u003eThe Plague\u003c\/em\u003e is in part an allegory of France's suffering under the Nazi occupation as well as a timeless story of bravery and determination in the face of the precariousness of human existence.
