Life And Death focuses on existentialist dilemmas.

The anthology covers the following: excerpt from a novel, short stories, story bytes, poems, drama, journalism, pictures, art, cartoons, comic strips, animation, songs, advertisements, and film clips. All texts are recorded by native speakers with audio-recordings integrated in the text files. 

To Be or Not to Be contains Hamlet's soliloquy To be or not to be by William Shakespeare as well as Poor Yorick which can readily be combined with the excerpt from Jonathan Safran Foer's experimental novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, in which the nine-year-old Oskar, who has lost his father in the 9/11 attacks in New York, gets the part of Yorick in the school performance. 

The fatal realization of death's presence as an inevitable part of life is highlighted in  Ernest Hemingway's short story Three Shots.  Billy Collin's animated poem The Dead elaborates on the relationship between the dead and the living in a subtle way.

Positive views on man's existence are provided by Charlotte Brönte in her poem Life and in Henry Longfellow's Psalm of Life.

Ali Smith and Stephen Dixon bring readers close to the existentialist dilemmas  in their short stories Small Deaths and Reversal.
