The Fall by Albert Camus Summary

A Voice from the Shadows
Imagine sitting in a dimly lit bar in Amsterdam's red-light district, approached by a stranger who seems to know you better than you know yourself. This is Jean-Baptiste Clamence, a fallen man who has appointed himself judge of all humanity-including you. "The Fall" is a confession that becomes an indictment, delivered in a hypnotic monologue that pulls you deeper into complicity with each passing page. Through Clamence's voice, Camus explores our shared capacity for moral hypocrisy, the fragility of our self-image, and the universal human tendency to judge others while absolving ourselves. What begins as one man's confession gradually transforms into a mirror reflecting our own moral compromises and self-deceptions. As Clamence will make painfully clear, we are all performing virtue while harboring selfishness-and the moment we realize this truth constitutes our own personal fall from grace.
