«La náusea» is the philosophical novel by Jean-Paul Sartre, published by Seix Barral in hardback (224 pages, in Spanish).
The protagonist, Antoine Roquentin, lives in the fictional city of Bouville and suffers a crisis in the face of the contingent: objects and people lose their familiarity and provoke nausea in him, an experience of absurdity that makes him question the meaning of his life and of reality. Sartre turns that individual malaise into the starting point of an existential inquiry into freedom, identity and the search for meaning.
Part of the Obras Maestras de la Literatura Contemporánea collection (no. 19). Translation by Aurora Bernárdez. The novel was originally published in 1938.
Those interested in existentialism, the philosophical novel and classics of twentieth-century European literature.
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."
