Dostoevsky, Kierkegard, Nietzsche and Kafka by William Hubben

Short but informative book on the life of four prominent philosophers conscripted into the existentialist camp.

Dostoevsky Kierkegard Nietzsche and Kafka by William Hubben

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.
