{"product_id":"nausea-new-directions-paperbook","title":"Nausea (New Directions Paperbook)","description":"Sartre's greatest novel ― and existentialism's key text ― now introduced by James Wood.\nNausea is the story of Antoine Roquentin, 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.”\nWinner 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 Nausée, his first and best novel, is a landmark in Existential fiction and a key work of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0811220303\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0811220303.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jean-Paul Sartre|Lloyd Alexander|Richard Howard|James Wood\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
