'An irresistibly brilliant examination of modern conscience' The
New York Times 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 ...
'Camus is the accused, his own prosecutor and advocate. The Fall
might have been called "The Last Judgement" ' Olivier Todd
