Opis

"The study covers both literature and modern philosophy, as it deals with the impact on literature of the existentialist philosophy after the Second World War. Springing from the despair at the established world order experienced by many who had suffered in the two World Wars, Existentialism had tremendous impact. The writers influenced by it were amongst the most important in Post-War Europe, and a tremendous influence on younger generations". Rajiva Wijesinha
