Edge wear. 147 pp. Philosophical novel by the existentialist writer most famous for The Stranger. The Fall (French: La Chute) is a philosophical novel written by Albert Camus. First published in 1956, it is his last complete work of fiction. Set in Amsterdam, The Fall consists of a series of dramatic monologues by the self-proclaimed judge-penitent Jean-Baptiste Clamence, as he reflects upon his life to a stranger. In what amounts to a confession, Clamence tells of his success as a wealthy Parisian defence lawyer who was highly respected by his colleagues; his crisis, and his ultimate fall from grace, was meant to invoke, in secular terms, The Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden. - Wikipedia
