The Terror of Existence

Book • 2018
The Terror of Existence is a collaborative work by Theodore Dalrymple and Kenneth Francis, exploring the concept of meaninglessness from Ecclesiastes to the Theatre of the Absurd.

The book delves into various literary works, including those by Samuel Beckett and Edgar Allan Poe, to examine how individuals cope with existential crises in a seemingly nihilistic world.

Dalrymple, an atheist, and Francis, a believer, offer contrasting perspectives on these themes.
