The Fall
Offers a portrayal of a man who has glimpsed the hollowness of his existence. But beyond depicting one man's disillusionment, this novel exposes the universal human condition and its absurdities - and our innocence that, once lost, can never be recaptured.

Description
New translation by Robin Buss
Jean-Baptiste Clamence is a soul in turmoil. Over several drunken nights, 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—and our innocence that, once lost, can never be recaptured.

The Fall by Albert Camus is praised for its poignant exploration of themes like guilt, redemption, and existentialism. Reviews often highlight its introspective narrative delivered through a monologue by the protagonist, Jean-Baptiste Clamence, which captivates readers with its profound reflections on the human condition. Critics admire Camus's ability to infuse philosophical depth into a compelling story that invites readers to question morality and self-awareness in a complex world.
