La Chute, a brief, controversial, and profound novel, was the summit of Camus' career as a great literary artist, master of a precise and luminous style, a writer who tells an absorbing story and illuminates "the problems of the human conscience in our time."
This edition of Camus' last novel brings to intermediate French classes and unabridged twentieth century classic. It includes notes, exercises, questionnaires, and vocabulary. The questionnaires are particularly useful for class discussion in French Composition; topics at the end of each section may be used for practice in idiomatic expression of the written language. For expansion and enrichment of vocabulary; special exercises focus attention on the key words of Camus' text and on words essential to further reading in French literature.

Work Description
Num bar de marinheiros em Amesterdão, um homem que se apresenta como juiz-penitente enceta conversa com um desconhecido. Entre copos de Genebra e deambulações pelas ruas daquela cidade de canais concêntricos, a fazer lembrar os círculos do inferno, recorda a sua vida passada como respeitável advogado parisiense, insuperável na defesa de causas nobres e nas conquistas amorosas. Mas à medida que a confissão se desenrola as ambiguidades acumulam-se, os motivos ocultos revelam-se, os triunfos desabam.
Narrativa mordaz, de uma ironia brilhante, A Queda descreve uma viagem de decadência até às mais obscuras infâmias do homem moderno. Publicado pela primeira vez em 1956, foi o último livro de ficção lançado em vida por Albert Camus.
