Description
Nausea is both the story of the troubled life of a young writer, Antoine Quentin, and an exposition of one of the most influential and significant philosophical attitudes of modern times – existentialism. The book chronicles his struggle with the realisation 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.
