Questo libro è per chi si sente fuori posto o, come si dice in greco, atopos. Pare che uno dei primi a essere definito così sia stato Socrate, giudicato troppo strano, a volte anche fastidioso. Dopo di lui, tutti i filosofi vennero considerati atopoi. Le loro vite erano tormentate dalla ricerca di qualcosa che continuava a sfuggire e osservavano il mondo dall'esterno, senza farne mai davvero parte. Chi si sente fuori posto prova ogni giorno il doloroso desiderio di trovare un luogo da chiamare casa e vive la vita col fiato sospeso, sperando di riuscire un giorno a respirare.
