«La náusea» is the philosophical novel by Jean-Paul Sartre, published by El País in paperback (271 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Antoine Roquentin, an intellectual living in the fictional Bouville, who begins to feel a strange unease before the materiality of things. That nausea forces him to confront the idea that existence has no given meaning and that each act and each choice define what he is.
First novel by Jean-Paul Sartre, originally published in 1938; this 2002 edition belongs to the Clásicos del Siglo XX collection (no. 27) and includes the translation by Aurora Bernárdez.
For readers interested in existentialism and in classics of twentieth-century philosophical fiction.
Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic, considered a leading figure in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism. Sartre was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism. His work has influenced sociology, critical theory, post-colonial theory, and literary studies. He was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature despite attempting to refuse it, saying that he always declined official honors and that "a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution."
