Cargando... Dostoevsky, Kierkegard, Nietzsche and Kafka (1962)por William Hubben
![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() It sounds like a paper from a college literature class. But it's a good book. Hey, who wouldn't want to dig deeper into the existentialists. This had punch and didn't take a sad lifetime's worth of pages to deliver the message. Powerful stuff. I won't address the major points -- they are in the book and it is short. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
How four of Europe's most mysterious and fascinating writers shaped the modern mind. Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Kafka were all outsiders in their societies, unable to fit into the accepted nineteenth-century categories of theology, philosophy, or belles lettres. Instead, they saw themselves both as the end products of a dying civilization and as prophets of the coming chaos of the twentieth century. In this brilliant combination of biography and lucid exposition, their apocalyptic visions of the future are woven together into a provocative portrait of modernity. "This small book has a depth of insight and a comprehensiveness of treatment beyond what its modesty of size and tone indicates. William Hubben...sees the spiritual destiny of Europe as one of transcending these masters. But to be transcended, their message must first be absorbed, and that is why the study of them is so important to us now." --William Barrett, The New York Times No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
