**A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR**

Encountering the last leprosarium in Europe and remote villages in Mozambique, moving through Siberian settlements and Brazil’s hinterlands, Outcast travels the margins of society and charts the history of a misunderstood disease.

In doing so, it shines new light on the human condition, asking: does our sense of self always rely on the ostracisation of another?
