Resumo: | The epidemic theme is recurrent in Western literature, encompassing books that were written from antiquity to contemporary times. Based on this assumption, the objective of this article is to provide an overview of texts that address this issue and to study the representation of the epidemic outbreak that builds up the novel ‘The plague’, by the french writer Albert Camus, and it is structured based on the convergence of the stories of the adventures of Dr. Bernard Rieux, with personal stories of the following characters: Jean Tarrou, Joseph Grand, Raymond Rambert, priest Paneloux, judge Othon and the mercenary Cottard. The theoretical support for the analyzes is based on the texts by Araújo (2020), Benevides (2011), Develey (2020), Fritsch (2018), Martins (2011), Candido (2011), Marx (2020), Palud (2008), Pereira (1996), Phélip (2020), Ruffato (2020), Voisine-Jechova (2001). Drawing on the intertwining of the stories of various characters, the camusian book unveils the best and the worst in their actions, during an outbreak of bubonic plague in the city of Oran, and presents a sensitive and humanized narrative of the lives of its inhabitants immersed in a period of horror and suffering, marked by tragedy and the pain of family losses, exile and confinement at the borders of a space that is invaded by the disease, which persists over several months, and victimizes a large part of its population |

Partindo dessa premissa, o objetivo deste artigo é fornecer um panorama de textos que tratam dessa questão e estudar a representação do surto epidêmico que vertebra o romance ‘A peste’, do escritor francês Albert Camus, e se estrutura a partir da convergência dos relatos das peripécias de um médico, Dr. Bernard Rieux, com as histórias pessoais de Jean Tarrou, Joseph Grand, Raymond Rambert, o padre Paneloux, o juiz Othon e o mercenário Cottard. O suporte teórico para as análises pauta-se nos textos de Araújo (2020), Benevides (2011), Develey (2020), Fritsch (2018), Martins (2011), Candido (2011), Marx (2020), Palud (2008), Pereira (1996), Phélip (2020), Ruffato (2020), Voisine-Jechova (2001). Valendo-se do entrelaçamento das histórias de vários personagens, a obra camusiana desvela o que há de melhor e de pior nas suas ações, durante um surto de peste bubônica ocorrido na cidade de Oran, e apresenta uma narrativa sensível e humanizada das vidas de seus habitantes imersos num período de horror e de sofrimento, marcado pela tragédia e pela dor de perdas familiares, exílio e confinamento nas fronteiras de um espaço que se vê invadido pela doença, que persiste ao longo de vários meses e vitima grande parte de sua população.Universidade Estadual De Maringá2021-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciLangCult/article/view/5699510.4025/actascilangcult.v43i2.56995Acta Scientiarum.
