Anthony1900 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Just read this brilliant little book. It's a riveting read that's littered with philosophical revelations. Sartre sets up fictional situations in order to express his existential ideas. I think he did a great job although the fictional plot is always secondary to his philosophy. I found it an incredibly beautiful read from a man with a superbly inquisitive and penetrating mind: The true sea is cold and black, full of animals; it crawls under this thin green film made to deceive human beings. [People] all round me have let themselves be taken in: they only see the thin film, which proves the existence of God. I see beneath it. Nausea.

Books do furnish a room Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Nausea is one of my all time favourite books; I read it when a naive 18 year old and it had a great influence on me; I also love Sartre's other novels, especially the Roads to Freedom trilogy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
