The 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 crisis, and his ultimate "fall" from grace, was meant to invoke, in secular terms, The Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden.
 "The Fall" explores themes of innocence, imprisonment, non-existence, and truth.
 In a eulogy to Albert Camus, existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre described the novel as "perhaps the most beautiful and the least understood" of Camus' books.
Marcel J. Mélançon is a Canadian philosopher and scientist.
 He was born in Saint-Barnabé, Quebec, in 1938, and is mostly known for his book on the French philosopher Albert Camus "Albert Camus, An Analysis of his thought" (Albert Camus.
 Analyse de sa pensée).
 He has mostly worked together with the biologist Richard D. Lambert.
Albert Camus (] ; 7 November 1913 – 4 January 1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist.
 His views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism.
 He wrote in his essay "The Rebel" that his whole life was devoted to opposing the philosophy of nihilism while still delving deeply into individual freedom.
 He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957.
João Guimarães Rosa (] ; 27 June 1908 – 19 November 1967) was a Brazilian novelist, short story writer and diplomat.
"Reflections on the Guillotine" is an extended essay written in 1957 by Albert Camus.
 In the essay Camus takes an uncompromising position for the abolition of the death penalty.
 Camus's view is similar to that of Cesare Beccaria and the Marquis de Sade, the latter having also argued that murder premeditated and carried out by the state was the worst kind.
 Camus states that he does not base his argument on sympathy for the convicted but on logical grounds and on proven statistics.
 Camus also argues that capital punishment is an easy option for the government where remedy and reform may be possible.

Herbert Lottman (August 16, 1927, Brooklyn - August 27, 2014, Paris) was an American author who specialized in writing biographies on French subjects.

 He wrote that, just before dying, Albert Camus was pledged to marry.
 Camus's estate tried to block his book, partly because of this controversial statement.
