A fascinating existentialist novel, written in the form of a journal, about a historian who moves to a small port in northern France to research a biography he is intending to write. Whilst there his senses become dulled and he becomes increasingly disgusted by his own existence, finding no solace with friends or a woman he begins an affair with.

Review of 'Nausea' on 'Goodreads'

Meu primeiro contato direto com Jean-Paul Sartre e o existencialismo... A narrativa é interessante, mas o que me prendeu mesmo foram imagens sensacionais, como esta aqui: "É domingo (...) Nas igrejas, à luz das velas, um homem bebe vinho diante de mulheres ajoelhadas."
