Nausea is a philosophical novel by the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, which is also his most famous work. It was published in 1938 and thus became one of the main works of existentialism. The novel describes several weeks in the empty life of Antoine Roquentin, who is haunted by a feeling of nausea, a fear of existence. The setting is the small town of Bouville. The main characters are Antoine Roquentin and the self-taught (real name Ogier P.), Anny. The work “Nausea” is written in the form of the diary of the main character Antoine Roquentin. His consciousness is the main aspect that makes up the plot of this work, which is filled with philosophical and essayistic fragments. Nausea has almost no real plot, but deals with questions of existence, the meaning of life, freedom and will, and the indifference of the world towards the individual.
