This book traces the development of existentialism from its roots in Fyodor Dostoevsky's novels to the profound philosophies of Jean-Paul Sartre. It examines how these thinkers grappled with themes of freedom, absurdity, and human existence.

Walter Kaufmann, a renowned scholar, offers a comprehensive overview in this revised and expanded edition, highlighting the evolution of existentialist thought across literature and philosophy.

Originally published in 1956 and updated in 1975, the paperback edition makes accessible the core ideas that influenced 20th-century intellectual discourse.
