Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Kafka: Four Prophets of Our Destiny
A compact Collier paperback from the mid-century existentialism boom, when every respectable library needed at least one book with Kierkegaard and Kafka on the cover. William Hubben's method is straightforward biography followed by lucid exposition, with each writer cast as a diagnostician of modern unease. The book is small enough to fit in a coat pocket, which suits its apocalyptic temper. The paper is thin, the print is dense, and the price, when it was new, was modest. The Collier imprint specialized in inexpensive reprints, and this copy carries the utilitarian design of that program. Ideal reader: the commuter who wants Kierkegaard before coffee and Kafka before bed.
