Albert Camus The Plague: The Learning Resource contains tools teachers have come to expect for exploring a novel with their students. I loved how nonchalant Camus' portrayed some scenes, especially majorly impactful ones like Tarrou's death just as the plague was finally easing up, just writing about them objectively and moving on to the next event. Just finished reading The Plague and I was blown away by how (eerily) similar Camus' descriptions of reactions, feelings, and progressions of the plague in this book were to real life. ![]()
