New York: Alfred A Knopf, 1948. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Stated first American edition of "La Peste" translated by Stuart Gilbert. From the jacket: "When in the spring of 1947 "La Peste" was published in Paris, it created an immediate sensation. Camus was recognized all over Europe as having realized to the full his enormous promise. "The Plague" is far and away the finest novel to come out of postwar Europe". Wear to upper edge of unclipped jacket designed by Jean Carlu, with loss near the head of the spine. Black covers are dark with bright titles, slight bumping of lower corners. A previous owner's book plate on the fixed endpaper (Lillian Ferrari). Very slight toning of the pages, fading of purple top stain.
