The main theme of this thesis is the existential anxiety and the motive of death in the early prosaic texts of the Italian author Dino Buzzati. The first chapter is dedicated to the author's biography where mainly the early years of his literary career are emphasized. After this introductory session follows an overview of the main features of existentialism as well as its place in the context of 20th century European literature and philosophy. In the last section of the theoretical part of the thesis we comment on the possible analogies between the literary work of Dino Buzzati and those of Franz Kafka, which were noticed by the contemporary literary criticism. The analytical part of the thesis is dedicated to the literary analysis of the primary texts: the novel The Tartar Steppe and selected short stories of the collection The Seven Messengers. In the last section we draw conclusions on the literary style of Dino Buzzati based on the previous analysis of the literary texts.
