"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger." Yes, but... How difficult it is to reflect on happiness... The overwhelming weight of all that. The best thing is to remain silent forever and turn towards the rest. To distance yourself from everything. In the absence of the desert, the plague or the little station of Tolstoy.

The paradox of the plague? Part 1 is part of an exposition that should be a whole very quickly – even in newspapers. One of the possible themes: the battle of medicine and religion: the forces of the relative (and whose relative?!) against those of the absolute. Does the relative triumph or, more specifically, does it not lose.

From 1942 to 1951, Albert Camus writes among other books The Plague, The Just, and The Rebel. The second volume of the Notebooks, which refers to these works in the making, also contains the essential moments of a life, as well as History in evolution – the purge, the Cold War… Here we discover an acting consciousness, a man with all his sensitivities, captivated by beauty.
