«La Nausée» is the existentialist novel by Jean-Paul Sartre, published by Gallimard in paperback format (249 pages, in French).
Antoine Roquentin writes a diary in which he records a disturbing transformation: certain objects provoke in him a physical and mental repulsion, the nausea, which ultimately reveals to him the contingency and absurdity of existence. The novel thus becomes a reflection on freedom, responsibility and the search for meaning.
The work was originally published in 1938 and this edition corresponds to the Folio collection (No. 805).
For readers interested in twentieth-century French literature and existentialist philosophy.
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."
