The
title
of
this
volume,
"Outlook
and
Insight",
is
deliberately
evocative
of
Koestler's
"Insight
and
Outlook"
(1949),
an
investigation
of
the
similarities
he
found
among
and
within
art,
science,
and
social
ethics.
In
this
study
of
Koestler
through
his
early
novel
"The
Gladiators",
his
particular
interest
in
revolutions
via
"The
Law
of
Detours"
is
the
focus
of
Outlook
(Part
1).
Those
reflections
are
explored
in
ten
segments,
one
of
which
is
Koestler's
own
unpublished
summary
of
the
first
half
of
"The
Gladiators".
The
volume
closes
with
an
account
of
the
attempt
to
film
"The
Gladiators"
in
the
late
1950s,
including
the
recent
publication
of
that
thwarted
project's
unproduced
screenplay.
Additional
Insight
(Part
2)
may
be
gained
from
reading
the
first
full
publication
of
the
newly
discovered
correspondence
generated
by
Edith
Simon's
agreement
to
translate
Koestler's
now-published
MS
of
"Der
Sklavenkrieg".
A
Postscript
presents
a
representative
selection
of
Edith
Simon's
sketches
of
characters
in
"The Gladiators".
