AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A superb collection illustrated by magnificent compositions by Edy-Legrand in this bibliophilic edition that combines the literary power of the novel with rare artistic enhancement.

The text, written in 1947, recounts the plague epidemic that struck Oran and depicts the collective and individual struggle against evil, exploring themes of absurdity, solidarity, and the human condition.

In this edition, Camus's narration is enriched by illustrations from Edy-Legrand, which visually depict the oppressive atmosphere of the besieged city, the figures of doctors, priests, and inhabitants, and the contrasts between despair and resistance.

The two volumes are distinguished by meticulous typography, high-quality paper, and a luxurious presentation, placing the work within the tradition of the great illustrated editions of the 20th century.

The whole reflects the meeting between existential literature and graphic art, offering readers a complete aesthetic and intellectual experience, where the materiality of the book becomes an integral part of the reception of the text.
