Have you ever read a book so amazing that you have thought about changing your past ratings because you hadn't done justice to this one if they shared the same score?That's how I felt during reading this amazing masterpiece.As you can see I've marked to re-read this book , so I would do a more thorough review on it once I have done so ; but for now ,this would be it.In the description of the book , you will read that it's about a painting which was stolen. Well it isn't just about that. It's an
I ran into my friend Dan at the club last week, and he was drunk. So we talked Camus. We didnt discuss Camuss theories, or the fact that he avoided riding in cars and then DIED IN A CAR CRASH. We just talked about Camus in relation to Dans life and in relation to mine. The only really interesting thing about anything to me is how it affects me. Thats the honest truth. Dan and I agreed that an interest in Existentialism is kind of a stage in your life like when you liked Pearl Jam or lived in a

La Chute = The Fall, Albert CamusThe Fall (French: La Chute) is a philosophical novel 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 defense lawyer who was highly respected by his colleagues; his
People hasten to judge in order not to be judged themselves. Freedom is not a reward or a decoration that you toast in champagne. On the contrary, it's hard graft and a long-distance run, all alone, very exhausting. Alone in a dreary room, alone in the dock before the judges, and alone to make up your mind, before yourself and before the judgment of others. At the end of every freedom there is a sentence, which is why freedom is too heavy to bear.Your success and happiness are forgiven you only
The Opening Line:Camus in an interview given in 1945: "No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked..."My Reactions after/while reading the novel:1. Camus must be an existentialist and that too an advocate of negative existentialism, that which holds there is no meaning for human existence. In the search for meaning, man is distressed and he dies without any comfort of having received a proper answer. In fact, death liberates him from his struggles.

Ilustration To Books The Fall
I ran into my friend Dan at the club last week, and he was drunk. So we talked Camus. We didn’t discuss Camus’s theories, or the fact that he avoided riding in cars and then DIED IN A CAR CRASH. We just talked about Camus in relation to Dan’s life and in relation to mine. The only really interesting thing about anything to me is how it affects me. That’s the honest truth. Dan and I agreed that an interest in Existentialism is kind of a stage in your life – like when you liked Pearl Jam or lived in a little house that had a name and seven other people living in it. We then agreed that a re-exploration of all things Existential is usually preceded by your significant other telling you to get bent. Later Dan taught me how to cure a salmon, and we decided to co-host a dinner party in the second week of April. I doubt we would have come to this conclusion without having read The Fall.List Books As The Fall

Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.The Fall is one of those books which is less of a novel than an exploration of some kind of spiritual or philosophical narrative or truth. The narrator is a self appointed judge who spares no details about the fact that he does in fact love himself in a highly narcissistic manner. It is this manner which lends him to feeling free as to judge humanity, while ironically also judging himself and yet seemingly feeling free fromHave you ever read a book so amazing that you have thought about changing your past ratings because you hadn't done justice to this one if they shared the same score?That's how I felt during reading this amazing masterpiece.As you can see I've marked to re-read this book , so I would do a more thorough review on it once I have done so ; but for now ,this would be it.In the description of the book , you will read that it's about a painting which was stolen.
