«Людині насправді потрібен не стан без напруги, а прагнення і боротьба за гідну мету.»
“What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but striving and struggling for a worthwhile goal.”
“Упродовж історії було стільки ж епідемій, скільки й війн; та все одно вони щоразу застають людей зненацька”.
— Альбер Камю, «Чума»
«Те, що правдиве для всіх лих у світі, правдиве і для чуми: вона змушує людей перевершувати самих себе».
— Чума
«Єдиний спосіб боротися з чумою — це порядність».
— Альбер Камю «Чума»

The narrator receives a visitor in prison. Lined up next to each other in either side of the bars, so do the other prisoners. The conversations interupt one another. It's hard to talk with his girlfriend.
pickThe manga version.
pickVery interesting. Just because you don't show emotion doesn't mean you are inhuman.
1: Latin bc it was the origin of so many languages

Finally read the renowned work, this the American translation. I know at it‘s time it was quite impactful. I find it more interesting for how much has been made of it over time and it‘s historical & geographic placement rather than the content itself. Men abusing dogs, women, and indifferent to others. A man writing a male protagonist who attracts a woman for not much reason. Some good quotes and moments but not a lot there today for my interest.
