CAMUS, Albert

The Plague

First English edition. The usual sunning to the boards (through the jacket) and some foxing to the foredge else fine in fine dustwrapper with a bit of foxing on the rear panel. Striking Michael Ayrton jacket illustration. A classic novel of dignity and camaraderie in the face of a devastating epidemic. Basis for the 1992 film La Peste with William Hurt, Robert Duvall, and Raul Julia. Camus' subtle and compassionate convictions and philosophy earned him a Nobel Prize for Literature at the age of 43 -- he was killed in an auto accident three years later. Connolly 100.
