Nausea is both the story of the troubled life of a young writer, Antoine Roquentin, and an exposition of one of the most influential and significant philosophical attitudes of modern times - existentialism. The book chronicles his struggle with the realization that he is an entirely free agent in a world devoid of meaning; a world in which he must find his own purpose and then take total responsibility for his choices. A seminal work of contemporary literary philosophy, Nausea evokes and examines the dizzying angst that can come from simply trying to live.

Product description

About the Author


Jean-Paul Sartre - one of the best-known and most discussed modern French writers and thinkers - was born in Paris in 1905. His friendship with Simone de Beauvoir, whom he met while studying philosophy at the Sorbonne, stretched over fifty years, until his death in 1980. He is perhaps best remembered as the founder of French existentialism and as a man of passion, fighting for what he believed in. Among his best known works are La Nausee (1938), Les Mouches (1943), Huis clos (1944) and the trilogy Les Chemins de la liberte; published in Penguin as The Age of Reason, The Reprieve and The Iron in the Soul.

The Letters of Jean-Paul Sartre to Simone de Beauvoir 1926-1939 is also published by Penguin.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Novelist, playwright, and biographer Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-80) is widely considered one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century. His major works include "No Exit," "Nausea," "The Wall," "The Age of Reason," "Critique of Dialectical Reason," "Being and Nothingness," and "Roads to Freedom," an allegory of man's search for commitment, and not, as the man at the off-licence says, an everyday story of French country folk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow
Reviewed in the United States on 27 June 2021

Can’t quite describe the book. On so many occasions I felt as if this book was written about me, like viewing my own life through these pages. I have never been so disturbed before. I felt violated and intruded upon the entire time I was reading this yet it was impossible to put down. I haven’t felt the same since reading it and I kind of regret telling one of my friends to read it because I don’t think my warning was clear enough. I don’t recommend this book to anyone under any sort of fragile state of mind, I thought this would help me through a depressive episode and keep my mind off things but now I feel like I’m stuck in a box I’m never getting out of. For having such a profound impact, this has to be by far the greatest book I’ve read but beware; it’s haunting.

This novel is the precursor and heart of Sartre's philosophical works. It illustrates how we depend on our definitions of things, and the illusion that they have definite beginnings and ends. It says in one compact book what he lays out at length in his entire body of work.

Not sure what can be said about this book, and there's certainly nothing I can add to what has already been written about this towering 20th Century masterpiece.

Buy it, read it, stick it on the shelf, think about it, read it again, buy more copies, read them. We are alone in a hostile, Godless and meaningless universe, so you might as well just read Sartre.
