La Nausée

*La Nausée* (Nausea) is a novel by Jean-Paul Sartre that explores the human experience of existential dread and the search for meaning. The story follows Antoine Roquentin, who begins to feel a profound sense of discomfort and alienation from the world around him. This sensation reveals deeper questions about existence, identity, and the randomness of life. Sartre uses this feeling of nausea as a metaphor for the realization of life's arbitrary nature, prompting reflections on free will and the absurdity of human existence. The novel combines philosophical insights with a vivid narrative, encouraging readers to confront their own perceptions of reality.
