A review by adiuvat
Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre
4.0
Nausea delves into the philosophical turmoil of protagonist Antoine Roquentin as he grapples with the burden of his own existence. Throughout the novel, Roquentin searches for meaning in a world that seems indifferent to his presence.
His existential angst deepens as he longs for nonexistence, yet is continually reminded of his own being. This duality drives him to an intense introspection and mental turmoil.
By the end, the desire to create something tangible that will leave a lasting impression holds him more than his own nausea. He decides to write fiction, hoping to give his existence purpose and to be remembered fondly for his contributions.
All in all, Nausea offers a poignant exploration of the complexities of human existence and the quest for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world.
