Nausea by Sartre


Anthony1900

Recommended Posts

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.
