A 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 …If you enjoyed The Fall, you might like Jean-Paul Sartre’s Nausea, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Albert Camus

Albert Camus nasceu em Mondovi, na Argélia, a 7 de novembro de 1913. Licenciado em Filosofia, participou na Resistência francesa durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e foi então um dos fundadores do jornal de esquerda Combat. Em 1957 foi consagrado com o Prémio Nobel da Literatura pelo conjunto de uma obra que o afirmou como um dos grandes pensadores do século XX. Dos seus títulos ensaísticos destacam-se O Mito de Sísifo (1942) e O Homem Revoltado (1951); na ficção, são incontornáveis O Estrangeiro (1942), A Peste (1947) e A Queda (1956). A 4 de janeiro de 1960, Camus morreu num acidente de viação perto de Sens. Na sua mala levava inacabado o manuscrito de O Primeiro Homem, texto autobiográfico que viria a ser publicado em 1994.
