Book for a lonely and lost man, a seeker, dreamer.

Post by taurus1 »

Please, recommend me a book about life, about the everyday life... the path of the lonely man, the outsider. A man searching for himself and his mission / meaning in life ...
He is an idealist, a dreamer and dreaming of another, a better world.
He is out of time (not his), trying to adapt, but does not fit into society, with a deep inner world; For his fall and ... the exit/way out.

Perhaps - The Golden Age Syndrome (as "Midnight in Paris" by Woddy Allan).
My favorites are "Marten Eden", "Loneliness On The Net" - Janusz L. Wisniewski; and "The Memory Artists" by Jeffrey Moore (the characters: Norval and partly Noel Burun).

There are two books for review on Onlinebookclub currently that I think have elements of what you're looking for.

Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is about a man with friends and family, but who experiences loneliness, self-doubt, and ultimately self-discovery after his divorce. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=130561

The Burn Zone by Jorge P. Newbery is an autobiography of a man who feels he never fitted into society and who follows his own path. viewtopic.php?f=24&t=130936

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. A beautiful novel about searching for something mixed with a little magic just to be safe. A novel I read on a whim and it's still one of my favourite novels.

Strange the Dreamer is a good recommendation about a man looking for something more. Believing in something out of everyone's imaginations.
