Existentialism is a movement in philosophy and literature that emphasizes individual existence, freedom and choice. It holds that, as there is no God or any other transcendent force, the only way to counter this nothingness (and hence to find meaning in life) is by embracing existence.The Existential Literature Collection features:FEAR AND TREMBLING, by Soren KierkegaardMANIFESTO OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY, by Karl Marx and Friedrich EngelsON THE DUTY OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, by Henry David ThoreauNOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND, by Fyodor DostoyevskyBEYOND GOOD AND EVIL, by Friedrich NietzscheTHE WILL TO BELIEVE, by William JamesIS LIFE WORTH LIVING?, by William JamesHEART OF DARKNESS, by Joseph ConradI AM MUCH TOO ALONE IN THIS WORLD, YET NOT ALONE, by Rainer Maria RilkeandTHE TRIAL, by Franz Kafka
