L’ABSURDE, UN MIROIR DU DÉSACCORD AVEC LE MONDE
L’ABSURDE, UN MIROIR DU DÉSACCORD AVEC LE MONDE

Summary/Abstract: Originating in existentialism, the absurd is a response offeredby the analysis of the existence in the works of Franz Kafka and DinoBuzzati. The 20th century was a century of great innovations in the field ofliterature, of philosophy, of the arts in general. The preoccupation for thehuman condition is a form of responsibility for the human destiny. Theelements invading Josef K. and Giovanni Drogo’s lives (the characters inThe Trial and The Desert of the Tartars) all of a sudden are more powerfulthan their will; therefore their tragic end is explained not by the fact thatthey are guilty, but by their not being able to justify their existence.
