Summary

In a dark and enigmatic city surrounded by impenetrable walls, a society lives convinced of its own uniqueness and isolation from the outside world. Here, every person plays a strictly assigned role, and any doubt about the established order is punished by exile. The main character, a young man named Mullen, begins to question the nature of the city and its boundaries. His inner protest leads to a confrontation with the authorities and a search for the truth about the origin and purpose of this place. Through dramatic events, Mullen discovers that the city's walls are not only a physical barrier but also a psychological one, and that freedom requires the courage to look beyond the familiar. «The Falling City» is a philosophical parable about the fear of change, the power of doubt, and the inevitability of seeking truth, where every step the hero takes becomes a step toward the liberation of mind and heart.
