The classic existentialist novel, now rejacketed in the Penguin Modern Classics eau-de-nil livery

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.
