When a deadly plague forces quarantine, everyday routines collapse and the city becomes a closed world of rumour, dread and waiting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eCamus follows a cross-section of townspeople as they grapple with fear, separation and the need to make sense of suffering. At the centre is Dr Rieux, whose calm persistence offers a grounded counterpoint to panic and denial. The novel’s power lies in its clear-eyed look at how communities behave under pressure, and what decency can look like when certainty disappears.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003ePerfect for readers who love twentieth-century classics, existential literature, and philosophical novels about resilience, morality and civic duty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eAdd this enduring modern classic to your shelves and see why it still speaks so sharply today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52408211964180,"sku":"9780141045511","price":17.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9780141045511_1.jpg?v=1777437906","url":"https:\/\/dearvillage.com.au\/products\/the-plague-popular-penguins","provider":"Dear Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
