“Упродовж історії було стільки ж епідемій, скільки й війн; та все одно вони щоразу застають людей зненацька”.

«Те, що правдиве для всіх лих у світі, правдиве і для чуми: вона змушує людей перевершувати самих себе».

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
2: L‘Etranger (The Stranger) - I read it in French

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.
pickI read The Plague years ago (while pregnant with my first, whose 20th birthday is today), and while I kept meaning to read this one, it took my second-born reading it in high school and begging his father and me to read it to get me finally to pick it up. It's a quick read, the style reminiscent of Hemingway in the first half. As my son promised, there are some fire quotes in here, as well as musings about existence in the modern age. I liked it.
