JOHN KRAPP Time and Ethics in Albert Camus's The Plague Ethical readings of Albert Camus's The Plague have traditionally reflected the criticism, introduced by Jean-Paul Sartre and Roland Barthes, that Camus's text fails to invite serious moral consideration because, representing its subject allegorically, it fails to represent real material history, in which ethical thought serves to inform choice in time. In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content: ![]() ![]() But it turns out revenge is a messy business, and when I end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, I royally piss off four brutal, twisted, gorgeous men. Six people who turned me into the monster I am now. Six people who wronged me, who hurt me, who took everything from me. Some people wear their heart on their sleeve. I was a good girl once, but now I dance with devils. I’m a loose thread to them-but somehow, I’m becoming more than that too.Īnd no matter how much I try to deny the terrifying attraction that pulses between us, I know if I don’t find a way out of this tangled web soon… These three dangerous brothers will do anything to make sure I keep my mouth shut about what I saw, even if it means stalking my every movement. They don’t… but they don’t forget about me, either. ![]() ![]() ![]() When they drag me from the blood-soaked bed, I’m certain they’re going to kill me too. ![]() On the night I’m meant to give my body to a brutal Russian mobster, three men storm into the room like dark shadows and kill him before he can claim me. So when I end up desperate for money and out of options, I agree to sell the one thing I have left: my innocence. My parents are dead, my adoptive mother is a drug addict, and the mean girls on campus mock me for my scars. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Those pieces of information may seem to be on the surface insignificant, but they can open the door to another world and make the story itself engrossing. ![]() In this way, the storyline is given the freedom to prosper in imagination, for Story is so much more believable when anchored in verified (by archaeology) historical fact (the little things like type of cup used or what the tents are made of). The fiction of the story is tightly woven with historical facts, allowing for the reader to live in ancient Harran and surrounding Biblical lands, fully saturated in the lifestyle and customs of the time, not only physically, but psychologically as well. The story takes the reader back to an era when to be remembered was life after death and serves as a metaphor for life within life, when stories were spoken and passed from person to person and family to family. The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant, is more than a book – it’s a time machine, as a truly good book is meant to be. ![]() ![]() ![]() As the reality of the situation hits them, they must make a tough decision - run and hide, give themselves up to be with their families, or fight back against an unknown enemy.

If so, why?Ībsolutely!! It is extremely well written and narrated. ![]() It's as if the author thinks the reader/listener is a school pre-starter, and that he is the educator who's so much more intelligent and experienced. I don't think the tone of the narration helped much either as the narrator seems to have bought into the school teacher ambiance the whole book exudes. I gave up, when to explain how money came about, after explaining money is portable, it was explained to me that a farmer had a problem if he wanted to move house as he couldn't take his house and paddy fields with him, that he could exchange them for tons of rice, but even that isn't easily transported. ![]() The generalisations, paragraphs of silly explanations, interspersed with politically loaded nonsense and assertions about human history without substantiation, make the listening experience tiresome, and have a way of making one doubt the whole narrative's honesty. There are potentially useful insights buried deep in here, which are sufficient to justify an essay, but not a book. ![]() I really wanted to like this book but ended up disliking it. ![]() ![]() ![]() An acceptable book request includes at least one of the following: Low-effort book requests will be removed.
