The Plague (Vintage Classic Hardback Edition) by Albert Camus
- ISBN-: 978-8182475861
- Page-: 258
- Editon-: 2021
The Plague is an extraordinary classic that tells the story from the point of view of a narrator of a plague sweeping the French Algerian city of Oran. The narrator remains unknown until the start of the last chapter, chapter 5 of part 5. The novel presents a snapshot of life in Oran as seen through the author’s distinctive absurdist point of view. Camus used as source material the cholera epidemic that killed a large proportion of Oran’s population in 1849, but situated the novel in the 1940s. Oran and its surroundings were struck by disease several times before Camus published his novel. According to an academic study, Oran was decimated by the bubonic plague in 1556 and 1678, but all later outbreaks (in 1921 – 185 cases, 1931 – 76 cases, and 1944 – 95 cases) were very far from the scale of the epidemic described in the novel.

White Nights and Other Stories by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Hardback)
- Page : 307
- ISBN : 978-8182475342
- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 2.3 cm
From the author of Crime and Punishment comes this remarkable collection of short fiction. A selection of ten compelling tales, steeped in Dostoyevsky’s characteristic themes of spiritual torment and psychological struggle, evoke life in Czarist Russia. Featured stories include “The Dream of a Ridiculous Man,” “Bobok,” “An Honest Thief,” “An Unpleasant Predicament,” “Another Man’s Wife,” “The Peasant Marey,” “The Crocodile,” “A Faint Heart,” “A Christmas Tree and a Wedding,” and the title work. Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821&;1881) created powerful depictions of the human condition that led to significant developments in twentieth-century thought, including psychoanalysis and existentialism. His influence resonates in the works of latter-day authors such as Proust, Faulkner, Hemingway, and Kafka. This collection of his short stories offers thought-provoking glimpses into the Russian author’s moving portrayals of the conflict between flesh and spirit.
