In ghost stories there is no path to escape. Charles was such a versatile writer that he could put life in such simplistic stories with his amazing wit. In “the haunted house,” a new homeowner discovers he is sharing his bed with the skeleton of the house’s former master. In “the trial for murder,” a revengeful ghost haunts a juror serving at his killer trial. In “the Signal-Man,” An apparition warns a man of impending disaster.

The Plague (Vintage Classic Hardback Edition) by Albert Camus

- 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.
