ABSTRACT
The first part of this article will be a short presentation of the Swiss author himself. Then I shall describe which books of Kierkegaard he had in his library and how his reading of Kierkegaard took place. In a third stage, the most extensive one, the numerous explicit references to Kierkegaard through his whole oeuvre will be presented and commented upon. But, at the same time, I shall try to show with some examples how Kierkegaard’s influence also works implicitly as a source of inspiration without explicit references, in narrative motives, in characters of novels or on stage, in drawings and paintings.
