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

[taurus]

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 (perfect 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).
