Nausea

Style and Technique

Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre is a philosophical novel written in the form of the main character Antoine Roquentin's diary. The work is characterized by the use of emotional and analytical language to reflect on existentialism and the absurdity of existence. Sartre masterfully conveys the feeling of nausea from the meaninglessness of being through the protagonist's introspection, focusing on his inner world and thoughts. Vivid, sometimes metaphorical descriptions of Roquentin's experiences add depth and complexity to the text. The novel's style is distinguished by erudition and philosophical richness, with every event and detail in the book saturated with deep meaning, prompting reflection on freedom, loneliness, and the essence of human existence.
