Nausea (Penguin Modern Classics)

At first It took me some time getting used to the writing style. It was different, unlike anything I had ever read before. Written in the style of diary entries by a character named Antoine Roquentin, a writer who lives alone spending his time wandering the streets of Bouville, reflecting on his past times when he was an adventurer and had a wife named Anny.This Isn't one of those novels that you would pick up when you're bored or need something to pass time. To really appreciate it you have to read it slowly. Many of you will relate to Antoine deeply and if you're one of them then you'll be so very glad to have found this book. Sartre is able to express through words what we often think but struggle to verbalise.Each chapter is beautifully written, you may find yourself smiling or laughing at times at the brilliant use of satirical humour.I have to say that this is definitely my favourite book so far. Oh and if you have ever or do presently suffer with depression then you will either be thrilled to have discovered it or leave it incomplete. So anybody out there with depression, or other mood disorders, just to warn you, you may find this book triggering.

This is one of the very few books I have read more than once in my life, and I will probably read it again (and again). The descriptions are surreal and evocative. The images Sartre creates of the places and people are clear in my mind. All the senses are engaged. A wonderful little existentialist masterpiece.

Previously read this book years ago and fully enjoyed it. It's not an easy read, but interesting themes. We have just moved and I can't find my original book, so simply replacing it.

The book itself is a classic, an introverted look at a man who's lost his raison d'etre. His existential reflections at the end are very insightful.In all it's a very relatable and good book. most people will connect with it to some degree.About the quality of the book itself, nicely made, no type errors or build errors, all good there.

I received the book in excellent condition. Very happy.

Good order turnaround and delivery timeframe.

This book gave me an existential crisis

Good!
