Volume 12, Tome I

Kierkegaard's profound impact on German literature and art is examined, highlighting his role as a key inspiration for notable writers like Thomas Mann and Rainer Maria Rilke. His influence was particularly pronounced in Austria among modernist authors such as Karl Kraus and Robert Musil, aided by translations published in the journal Der Brenner. Additionally, Swiss writers like Max Frisch drew from his ideas, while Franz Kafka resonated with Kierkegaard's personal experiences, particularly his love story with Regine Olsen.
