Publisher's summary

Suite à une épidémie de peste, les autorités décident de fermer la ville d'Oran. Les habitants s'organisent pour survivre au siège de cette maladie mortelle et en particulier le docteur Rieux. Il est l'un des premiers à identifier les symptômes de la maladie et devient une figure centrale dans l'organisation sanitaire de la ville. Parmi les autres personnages, certains seront attachants, d'autres sembleront ailleurs, d'autres reconnaîtront dans la catastrophe la main de Dieu qui punit les pécheurs. Mais finalement, ils seront tous embarqués dans une lutte sans merci. Celle de la survie.

Christian Gonon incarne le narrateur masqué et discret de La peste. D'une voix un peu détachée, car le narrateur se veut être un témoin fidèle, il décrit au jour le jour les "faits véritables" qui se sont produits à Oran pendant le fléau. Une lecture humble et pudique au service d'un texte mythique.

Prescient tale!

If you are reeling from the current pandemic, read this for perspective. A plague is a tragedy that demands reflection.

Les bonnes qualités de l’homme

La peste c’est un symbole de ce qui veut détruire le sprit bénévole des être humains. Mais l’amour et la souffrance font une barrière pour la combattre et y réussir!
Une histoire très poétique et philosophique!
Viviam!

Livre magnifique et lecteur excellent

C’est la troisième fois que je le lis et la première que je l’écoute. Il est aussi génial que les autres fois, voir plus car le lecteur est fantastique. Il a rendu à la perfection l’esprit du livre. Merci pour cette expérience.

A perfect read for COVID19

I listened to the book in French. The reader has a nice soothing voice. The book is very good, and very relevant to the current COVID situation!

Very slow narration - lecture trop lente

Malheureusement, il y a de trop nombreuses pauses, qui ne sont pas du tout nécessaire.
