The Fall and Exile & the Kingdom by Albert Camus [1964 / THE MODERN LIBRARY]

FIRST MODERN LIBRARY EDITION HARDCOVER [1964] MODERN LIBRARY

Book is in excellent condition.  Dust jacket has some mild tanning, a few minuscule edge tears and a price clipped front panel.  Book itself is like new. 

In the Fall, Jean-Baptiste Clamence, a successful Parisian barrister, has come to recognize the deep-seated hypocrisy of his existence. His epigrammatic and, above all, discomforting monologue gradually saps, then undermines, the reader's own complacency. 

In Exile and the Kingdom,  six stories, written at the height of Camus' artistic powers, all depict people at decisive, revelatory moments in their lives.
