«La náusea» is the philosophical novel by Jean-Paul Sartre, published by Unidad Editorial in paperback (190 pages, in Spanish).
Antoine Roquentin, a historian settled in the fictional Bouville, investigates the life of the Marquis de Rollebon while suffering a crisis that makes him perceive the contingency and absurdity of everything that exists. That strange certainty materialises as a nausea that confronts him with his own freedom and the meaning of his life.
«La náusea» was originally published in 1938 as La nausée. This 1999 edition is number 78 of the collection Las 100 joyas del milenio and includes a prologue by José Ángel Mañas.
Suitable for readers who want to begin exploring existentialism and the twentieth-century philosophical novel.
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."
