The story involves such philosophical issues as freedom, love, meaninglessness and absurdity of human existence, and many others. Only in the end the narrator dares to open a tiny part of his heart to the other person: there is one thing which he regrets about – it’s a woman, whom he hasn’t saved from making suicide. And the author shows this duplicity within the whole story. But he never shows this contempt to other people, he always plays the role of a kind, sincere man. The narrator loves himself, and as opposed to this, he despises anyone else. But he tells more about his views in the course of his life, than about the factual, ‘material” events.
The narrator meets his friend in Amsterdam's bar "Mexico City" and tells him the story of his life within five days. The author opens widely such method as ‘the stream of consciousness’ in the text: there is not actually any logical sequence of events, it’s a monologue of a former Parisian lawyer Jean-Baptiste Clamence, his confession. “ The Fall” which is considered to be philosophical novel, was published in 1956.
