Classic thriller. |
The townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a deadly plague, which condemns its victims to a swift and horrifying death. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame or revenge, and a few, like the unheroic hero Dr Rieux, resist the terror. |
