This master's thesis discusses the philosophy of existentialism and the reflection of its main concepts in Ernest Hemingway's novels A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls. Although Ernest Hemingway is not formally known as a representative of existentialist philosophy or existentialist literature of the first half of the 20th century, the author's literary works addressed the questions related to the concept of human condition and the dimensions of an individual's existence that existentialism was mainly preoccupied with as well. The first part of the master's thesis addresses the main characteristics of existentialism. Existentialism is represented as a philosophical as well as a cultural movement. The concepts such as human existence, individual freedom, responsibility and authenticity as well as one's emotions and one's preoccupation with the notion of mortality are taken into consideration. What follows is the analysis of the novels A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls. The analysis presents the discussed concepts of existentialist philosophy the way they can be noted in the two Hemingway's war novels. The motifs, the themes and the ideas of the two novels that are of existentialist nature are presented. The last chapter brings about an analysis of the novels' protagonists and their own attitude towards life situations since existentialist philosophy generally focuses on dimensions of an individual's existence and on one's individual existential struggles.
