  Existential Stories - Tales of...

  Franz Kafka

  Everything we know must end.  In the fundamentals of our lives its usually our own deaths which bring that to an end.  But what if we widen that premise.  What if we are caught in its quixotic jaws. Held fast with escape merely a fleeting thought. 
  In this volume authors of real note bring their narratives of existential crisis and threat directly to our senses.  That conflict can yield terrible results. 
  And for that place the blame on Franz Kafka, Boleslaw Prus, Herman Melville, Oscar Wilde and many others.

  Written in Greek by the only Roman emperor who was also a philosopher, without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a remarkable series of challenging spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. While the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation and encouragement, Marcus Aurelius also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a timeless collection that has been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and readers throughout the centuries.
