*Confinement has several forms. It can be physical, as when a city is under siege and no one can get out. It can also be psychological: a madman is locked up in his own mind. Sometimes it is political, for example in the context of a tyranny. Finally, it can be metaphysical: isn't man's life surrounded, between birth and death, by non-being? Therefore, can you really be free? The famous novel The Plague by Albert Camus, published in 1947 and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, explores all these forms of confinement. Above all, it reveals to the reader different ways of dealing with them. Finally, it answers this question: when you are locked up, how do you "get out" without getting out?
