«De Val» is the novel by Albert Camus, published by De Bezige Bij in paperback (119 pages, in Dutch).
Jean-Baptiste Clamence, a brilliant Parisian lawyer, believed himself a superman and saw life as a fascinating game of which he was the centre. One night he witnesses a dramatic episode and his reaction puts an end to all his certainties. Now in a café on the Zeedijk in Amsterdam, he acts as a judge-penitent and reviews his life in a monologue about guilt, innocence and the search for truth in a morally ambiguous world.
Original work «La Chute» (1956), translated into Dutch by Dolf Verspoor.
