The Fall is a philosophical novel, in which the protagonist confesses his crimes which he feels he has done through out his life in front of the reader; in short, it is a book of self analysis.
All the time, he shares his experience of self piety. The reason behind all this self analysis of the writer is an incident in which he could save a girl from drowning who fell into a river, but he didn't.
He commented on lot things like on truth, on power, on morality, on sense of good and bad, On God, religion, and Judgement etc.
He claimed that God is archetype and irrelevant now because he has failed to put virtue in ourselves. that is way, we have to find a new way to arrest ourselves for the crimes we do.
Underlaying two statements are the conclusion of the whole Novel:
"One could not condemn others without immediately judging oneself, one had to overwhelm oneself to have the right to judge others."
"The more I accuse myself, the more I have a right to judge you."
Overall, this book i for those who like to read philosophical books, especially want to improve themselves b self-analysis. It's a pathway to achieve personal sense of living with GOD, religion and established moralities. On a literally context, I find many times difficult to read partially due to my week skimming skills and partially due to the fact that this book was written in French and I have read its English translation version. I have to consult to internet many times to understanding the underlying historical symbols and ideas.
In my eye view, this book is a devised practical solution to the question raised by Leo Tolstoy That is:
"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing the world."
Grab this book if you want to know why and how I shall confess my self crimes to live lively.
