Summary of The World of Violence by Colin Wilson PDF
'One of the more earnest and interesting writers of his generation.' - The Guardian 'Readable to an almost hypnotic degree . . . absorbing and exciting.' - Sphere 'Some really good narrative . . . impressive.' - New Statesman As a child, the brilliant mathematical prodigy Hugh Greene's two major influences were his eccentric old uncles, Nick and Sam. From Uncle Nick, Hugh learned a love of mathematics, which came to represent clarity and order, and from Uncle Sam he acquired an overwhelming fear of violence. Now seventeen and unsure of what to do with his life and whether life is even worth bothering with at all, Hugh finds his hatred of violence becoming even more intense when he witnesses a gang of brutal thugs beating an innocent man. Determined to protect himself, he purchases a gun and joins a pistol club. But when he becomes involved with a senseless shooting and gets mixed up with a group of criminals, including a sex murderer, Hugh will be forced to confront the question of whether his mathematics and philosophy have any relevance in a world of violence. . . . Colin Wilson's third novel, The World of Violence (1963), is a fascinating and gripping story that critic Sidney Campion called 'one of the most complex and satisfying bildungsromans ever written in English.' This new edition of Wilson's brilliant novel, the first in more than twenty years, includes a new introduction by Nicolas Tredell.
