Nausea

Description

In this novel, Antoine Roquentin, an introspective historian, records the disturbing shifts in his perceptions and his struggle to restore meaning to life in a continuing present and without lies. This is Sartre's first published novel and his first extended essay on existential philosophy.

Philosopher, novelist, playwright and polemicist, Jean-Paul Sartre was one of the central figures in post-war European culture and political thinking. His most well-known works include The Age of Reason, Nausea, and Iron In The Soul.
