Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, Camus is remembered as one of the few writers to have shaped the intellectual climate of post-war France, but beyond that, his fame has been international. They include The Fall, The Outsider and The First Man. 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 Albert Camus (1913-60) is the author of a number of best-selling and highly influential works, all of which are published by Penguin. The Fall (1956) is a brilliant portrayal of a man who has glimpsed the hollowness of his existence. From this successful former lawyer and seemingly model citizen a compelling, self-loathing catalogue of guilt, hypocrisy and alienation pours forth. Over several drunken nights in an Amsterdam bar, he regales a chance acquaintance with his story.
