Nausea / Jean-Paul Sartre ; translated from the French by Lloyd Alexander ; foreword by Richard Howard ; introduction by James Wood. - Phnom Penh : Footprints International School, 2024. - 220 pages : 21 cm
Nausea is the story of Antoine Roque tin, a French writer who is horrified at his own existence. In impressionistic, diary form he ruthlessly catalogs his every feeling and sensation. His thoughts culminate in a pervasive, overpowering feeling of nausea which "spreads at the bottom of the viscous puddle, at the bottom of our time -- the time of purple suspenders and broken chair seats; it is made of wide, soft instants, spreading at the edge, like an oil stain. "Winner of the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature (though he declined to accept it), Jean-Paul Sartre -- philosopher, critic, novelist, and dramatist -- holds a position of singular eminence in the world of French letters. La Nausea, his first and best novel, is a landmark in Existential fiction and a key work of the twentieth century.
