Na manhã de um dia 16 de abril dos anos de 1940, o doutor Bernard Rieux sai do seu consultório e tropeça num rato morto. Este é o primeiro sinal de uma epidemia de peste que em breve toma conta de toda a cidade de Orão, na Argélia. Sujeita a quarentena, esta torna-se um território irrespirável e os seus habitantes são conduzidos até estados de sofrimento, de loucura, mas também de compaixão de proporções desmedidas. Uma história arrebatadora sobre o horror, a sobrevivência e a resiliência do ser humano, A Peste é uma parábola de ressonância intemporal, um romance magistralmente construído, que, publicado originalmente em 1947, consagrou em definitivo Albert Camus como um dos autores fundamentais da literatura moderna.
