ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Stand," by Stephen King, explores a world devastated by a deadly superflu, known as "Captain Trips". The narrative follows the struggles of the survivors as they attempt to rebuild society while grappling with the emergence of a dark, charismatic figure, Randall Flagg, who represents chaos and oppression. The story contrasts the establishment of the Free Zone in Boulder, a community attempting to embrace cooperation and democracy, with Flagg's authoritarian regime in Las Vegas. The book examines themes of good versus evil, the fragility of civilization, and the spiritual dimensions of conflict as the survivors confront their new reality. The story is also focused on individual journeys and choices and the role of dreams as communication.
