Abstract

This paper establishes both Kafka and Kazantzakis as existential writers. Various works by each writer are explicated in order to show each as an existentialist. Their differing reactions to existentialism are then explored. By looking at the lives and environments of the writers, possible reasons for each writer's reactionary ideas are exposed.
