Why do we read existential or philosophical literature? Stories help us articulate and express our innermost feelings and anxieties that we thought were indescribable. By reading existential novels, we can find solace in knowing that other people, whether alive today or two centuries ago, experience(d) similar emotions and asked the same profound questions as we do today.

In this video, we look at five existential masterpieces that should be required reading for anyone seeking to explore the intricacies of the human condition.
