The book is a comparative study of the works of Jozef Wittlin and
Par Lagerkvist, in their youth recognized as prominent
expressionist writers, and in their later years making the ethical
topic the core of their works. In search for ways of expressing
ethical dilemmas, the works of Soren Kierkegaard and his concept of
indirect communication turned out to be an extraordinarily powerful
tool for both writers, enabling them to explore the matters of
ethics and morals in a way substantially different from traditional
didactic literature. In the reading of Wittlin's and Lagerkvist's
works undertaken in this book, the perspectives of comparative
studies and the history of literature complement and make it
possible to describe an important, but rarely recognized phenomenon
of modern European literature: its ethical variant.
