philosophical novel described by fellow existentialist Sartre as
'perhaps the most beautiful and the least understood' of his novels,
Albert Camus' The Fall is translated by Robin Buss in Penguin Modern Classics.
Jean-Baptiste
Clamence is a soul in turmoil. Over several drunken nights in an
Amsterdam bar, he regales a chance acquaintance with his story. From
this successful former lawyer and seemingly model citizen a compelling,
self-loathing catalogue of guilt, hypocrisy and alienation pours forth. The Fall
(1956) is a brilliant portrayal of a man who has glimpsed the
hollowness of his existence. But beyond depicting one man's
disillusionment, Camus's novel exposes the universal human condition and
its absurdities - for our innocence that, once lost, can never be
recaptured ...
Albert Camus (1913-60) is the author of a number
of best-selling and highly influential works, all of which are published
by Penguin. They include The Fall, The Outsider and The
First Man. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, Camus is
remembered as one of the few writers to have shaped the intellectual
climate of post-war France, but beyond that, his fame has been
international.
If you enjoyed The Fall, you might like Jean-Paul Sartre's Nausea, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
