seminal work on alienation, creativity, and the modern mind-set. First
published more than fifty 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, and "stands for Truth." Born into a world
without perspective, where others simply drift through life, the
Outsider creates his own set of rules and lives them in an unsympathetic
environment.
