Superb numbered and illustrated set by the magnificent compositions of Edy-Legrand from this bibliophilic edition that combines the literary power of the novel with a rare artistic enhancement -
The text, written in 1947, relates the plague epidemic that struck Oran and places the collective and individual struggle against evil at the center, exploring the themes of the absurd, solidarity, and the human condition -
