This is a Penguin Modern Classics edition of Jean-Paul Sartre's masterpiece, "Nausea." This existentialist novel, a cornerstone of French literature, depicts the protagonist Roquentin's experience of the "absurdity of existence" and the "loss of meaning." It's a fusion of philosophical themes and poetic style, a landmark work of 20th-century literature. This book is the 1965 English translation published by Penguin Books (original title: La Nausée, first edition by Gallimard, 1938), featuring Salvador Dalí's painting "The Triangular Hour" on the cover. The gray spine showcases Dalí's fantastical art, reflecting the modern design typical of Penguin books from the 60s and 70s. Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.
