«L'État de siège» is a play by Albert Camus, edited by Pierre-Louis Rey, published by Folio in paperback (224 pages, in French).
In this play, the plague erupts in a maritime city and becomes an allegory of occupation, dictatorship, and totalitarianism. Albert Camus shows the reaction of a community to fear and disaster, and opposes love and solidarity to terror, in a lyrical register that also explores human solitude in the face of destiny.
The work dates from 1948. This 1998 edition, annotated by Pierre-Louis Rey, belongs to the Folio Théâtre collection (no. 52) and includes the complete text in French.
For readers of theatre and French literature seeking a political allegory about occupation, dictatorship, and totalitarianism.
Albert Camus was a French philosopher, writer, and political activist. He was the recipient of the 1957 Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of 44, the second-youngest recipient in history, and the first laureate in literature born in Africa.
