Format:Taschenbuch
Camus uses a very seldomly applied style of writing. He chooses to tell the story of his main character as a dialoge with only the words of the storyteller beeing noted-a monologue so to say.
The storytelling takes place in Amsterdam in a pub in the harbour quarter. The Main character a formerly successful parisian barister describes how he comes to see through the hypocrisy of his existence and turns first to immorality and orgies andb later to self-judgement. A great book with many a quote lurking on the next page.
Format:Taschenbuch
How can I sum up the story, the plot? It's really like describing a Degas. The book gives you a feeling, and reading it is more than a mere intellectual pursuit. To call The Fall a work of art is a disservice. To attempt to explain for Camus what this book is saying is hubris at best. The central character of the story describes his fall from his lofty perch of moral rectitude. But has he really fallen? Or has he just become more cynical, of his own nature true, but of humanity in general? It seems as his self-loathing grew, his love of his fellow man contacted. Enough, I am ashamed at my pretentiousness. But really, if you are in high school, you probably aren't ready for The Fall. But if you are ready, the Fall is a work of incomparable profundity. It is over too soon, you will find.
Format:Taschenbuch
The Fall is a monologue spread over five days - occasionally there is an implication that another has spoken but we hear only the words of the narrator. What Camus has achieved is essentially a narrative philosophy (parallel to narrative theology) in which a philosophy is presented in the form of a life story. Whether or not that life story is true, the reader is left to determine.
The crux of the story is an incident which shattered the narrator's self-image - the suicide of a young woman by jumping off a bridge where he did nothing to save her. He tells of his worldly success before the incident and the shock of understanding the motives which were behind his success ... slef-knowledge he found difficult to accept.
Because Camus has successfully written a philosophical narrative one follows the story and is forced to consider the motivations in ones own life. One need not accept Camus' analysis to be deeply affected by this novel.

Possibly his best work
From the "philosphical" point of view it may be his best work. Set in a bar in Amsterdam, the narrator recounts stories and comments in a highly introspective way. Lesen Sie weiter...
