Die Stadt Oran wird von rätselhaften Ereignissen heimgesucht. Die Ratten kommen aus den Kanälen und verenden auf den Straßen. Kurze Zeit später sterben die ersten Menschen an einem heimtückischen Fieber, und bald ist es nicht mehr zu leugnen: Die Pest wütet in der Stadt. Oran wird hermetisch abgeriegelt. Ein Entkommen ist nicht möglich.

«Sie gingen weiter ihren Geschäften nach, bereiteten Reisen vor, bildeten sich Meinungen. Wie hätten sie einen Gedanken an die Pest verschwenden sollen, die jede Zukunft unmöglich macht, Reisen storniert, den Austausch von Meinungen zum Schweigen bringt?»

Es sind Passagen wie diese, die Camus’ Klassiker zu neuer Wucht verhelfen, die ihn auch für die heutige Zeit unverzichtbar machen.
