Nausea Author: Jean-Paul Sartre Publisher: Época Collection: New Talents Subject: Literature, Fiction Format: Paperback Pages: 214 Weight: 228 g Dimensions: 21 cm x 14 cm Code: 9789706273857 Jean-Paul Sartre was a man deeply engaged with his time, who as a philosopher inspired existentialism and as a writer was awarded the Nobel Prize. As a philosopher, he reflected on loneliness, anguish, failure, and death. Written in 1938, Nausea is one of his most celebrated novels. It recounts, through the intimate diary of Antoine Roquentin, what French life was like during those years. The protagonist is a victim of despair and apathy, disillusioned with love, disgusted with everything, and ends up thinking that the only thing that can justify his existence is writing a book. In reality, this character is a disguised reflection of his author.
