FALL,THE - Penguin Modern Classics **New Edición**

Jean-Baptiste Clamence addresses a chance a acquiantance in an Amsterdam bar. A successful Paris barrister, the epitome of good citizenship and decent behaviour, he has now come to recognize the deep, seated hypocristy of his existence. His brilliant, epigrammatic and, above all, discomforming monologue gradually saps, then undermines, the reader's own complacency.
