The Outsider
Colin Wilson
The Outsider is the
seminal work on alienation, creativity & the modern mind-set. First
published over forty years ago, it made its youthful author England's
most controversial intellectual. The Outsider is an individual engaged
in an intense self-exploration-a person who lives at the edge,
challenges cultural values & "stands for Truth." Born into a world
without perspective, where others simply drift thru life, the Outsider
creates his own set of rules & lives them in an unsympathetic
environment. The relative handful of people who fulfilled Wilson's
definition of the Outsider in the 1950s have now become a significant
social force, making Wilson's vision more relevant today than ever. Thru
the works & lives of various artists--including Kafka, Camus,
Eliot, Hemingway, Hesse, Lawrence, Van Gogh, Nijinsky, Shaw, Blake,
Nietzsche & Dostoyevski--Wilson explores the psyche of the Outsider,
his effect on society & society's effect on him. Wilson illuminates
the struggle of those who seek not only the transformation of Self but
also the transformation of society as a whole. The book is essential for
everyone who shares his conviction that "a new religion is needed".
