«La náusea» is the existentialist novel by Jean-Paul Sartre, published by Losada/Argentina in paperback (292 pages, in Spanish).
The work delves into the consciousness of Antoine Roquentin as he experiences the absurd and contingent nature of reality. That nausea, more metaphysical than physical, turns everyday living into a question about identity and the meaning of existence, with introspective prose that anticipates Sartre's existentialist philosophy.
Original title: La nausée (1938). The translation is by Aurora Bernárdez and the edition belongs to the Narrativa Losada collection; this edition dates from 2003.
Intended for readers of literary fiction interested in existentialism and in twentieth-century French literary classics.
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."
