Beschreibung

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