PENGUIN CLASSICS THE FALL - ALBERT CAMUS KART...

'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
