In 'The Outsider,' Colin Wilson examines the psyche of the Outsider through the lives and works of various literary and cultural figures such as Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Ernest Hemingway, Hermann Hesse, and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The book delves into the Outsider's experience of dislocation and his struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world that seems devoid of it. Wilson argues that the Outsider is a metaphysical man who seeks a transcending meaning and purpose for human existence, often feeling isolated and disconnected from society. The book is both a study of the Outsider's predicament and an impassioned call for a new form of existentialism that could provide a satisfying and objective religious understanding of life.
This book profiles some fifty individuals who played significant roles in shaping the American West between 1800 and 1920. It explores their lives, backgrounds, motivations, and strategies for success, highlighting figures like Cyrus McCormick, Brigham Young, and Levi Strauss. The book also discusses how these leaders contributed to cultural institutions and charities after achieving success.
