Lachute

Article Review by: estus    

Original Author: Albert camus
A roaming man studies human nature and society, in the age when the world was wounded of two world wars.
He is watching
people feared, pretending and heaving lack of mutual faith. His artistic approach of explanation shows the insecurity and hopelessness of broken hearts. Hero himself explains his life as the journey of pretending himself to be a good man in every respect, he always did, what was told to be the policies of a nice man, but instead of the satisfaction of soul, he finds the reason of this as the wish of adornment. He remembers his image based on all activities, which shadowed his internal marshland.
He watched the scenario of inert, isolated, selfish and rigid life, far from all enlightenments and resurrections; suppression of soul, dictating needs and excuses from all morals, making a hollow life. He finds the world, upgrading as a well-planed hunting place for powerful and wild hunters. He sees people getting induced of corruption and than feel guilty. Crushing and comparative lives producing barbarians.
The book explains the instant effect of world war; dilemma of corruptions and morals; hollowness of aimless human life; scenario of insecurity; human nature of borrowing wrights and wrongs from the society and finally a deep downfall of morals and soul.
French writer and philosopher Albert camus is the writer of one of the deepest analysis of human nature. His firing and punching quotes has great power to snatch the strip bonded on the eyes, when he opens the gate one by one, of the human tendencies and pretensions behind the normal activities we see in our daily life, the book leaves you totally stunned and speechless.
When the hero speaks, his dialogue seems to be a hammer, destroying all the fake standards and means made to dictate the human mind. His creative ability makes imagine everything you read. After all this is a must read french novel, which is available in english as THE FALL.
