What are some famous 'outsider novel' examples?

One example could be 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle' by Haruki Murakami. In this novel, there are certain elements that seem to be left 'blank' in a sense, like the open - ended nature of some of the mysteries. Another could be James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake' which has a complex and often ambiguous structure that can be seen as having 'blank' spaces in terms of straightforward narrative understanding. Also, Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse' has moments where the narrative seems to skip or leave things unsaid, creating a kind of 'blank' in the story.

One famous 'capital novel' could be 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens. It is set in London, which is a major capital city. The story follows Pip's journey from a young boy with humble beginnings to a gentleman, exploring themes of class, love, and ambition.

One example could be 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov. The character of Lolita can be seen as a victim in many ways. Another is 'The Color Purple' by Alice Walker, where Celie is a victim of abuse and racism.

One example is 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger. The main character Holden Caulfield is a bit of an outsider, feeling alienated from the adult world around him.

Since I don't know the exact 'the outsider' in question, I can't give exact examples. But if it's a fictional work, perhaps the story of a character's journey from being an outcast to finding a sense of belonging could be a top story.

One example could be 'The Scarlet Letter' by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Hester Prynne is shunned due to her association with the act of adultery. Even though she is the one who committed the act, the whole town's attitude towards her is a form of 'guilt by association' as her child is also affected. Another could be 'To Kill a Mockingbird' where Tom Robinson is considered guilty in the eyes of some just because he is a black man in a racially charged environment, and his association with the white family he worked for is also misconstrued.

Another example is in 'Les Misérables' by Victor Hugo. The character of Éponine sings 'On My Own', which is a very poignant moment in the novel. Her song expresses her unrequited love for Marius, and it also shows her loneliness and the hopelessness of her situation. This song becomes a symbol of her character's tragic fate.

One of the well - known 'black death novel' is 'The Decameron' by Giovanni Boccaccio. It was written during the time of the Black Death and tells the stories of ten young people who flee the plague - ridden city and tell stories to pass the time.

One famous 'death sentence novel' could be 'The Count of Monte Cristo'. In this novel, there are elements related to the idea of a death sentence as the protagonist, Edmond Dantès, is wrongly condemned to life imprisonment which is like a death sentence in a way. He endures great hardships and then plots his revenge against those who wronged him.

Well, '1984' by George Orwell can be considered in a sense a 'world end novel'. It shows a world where individuality and freedom are being crushed, leading to a kind of spiritual and intellectual end of the world. Also, 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley presents a future where society is so highly controlled and engineered that the essence of true humanity is lost, which is like a form of world ending. Then there's 'Fahrenheit 451' where books are burned and knowledge is suppressed, which is also a step towards the end of the world as we know it.
