Catastrophic reading

I am thoroughly enjoying (well that might not be the right word) rereading Camus, The Plague, with regard to the various reactions of the characters to the catastrophe that befell Oran. I also just finished Voltaire's Candide. Both I strongly recommend as literary and philosophical works on this topic. Do others have text references of authors-thinkers that have undertaken to look at the meaning/non-meaning of disasters?
