NAUSEA by Sartre, Jean Paul. First American edition. New York: New Classic Series / New Directions. - Originally published in French in 1938, and first published in the UK in 1949, this novel became one of the most important of the post-war era, and introduced existentialism to a broad audience. Translated from French by Lloyd Alexander. - Number 35 in the New Classics series, in an iconic Alvin Lustig dust jacket. - Sartre, of course, is also notorious for turning down a Nobel award. - Nausea is "overall, a tour de force" and "a wonderful introduction to the school of existential philosophy and also happens to tell a perfect story of someone seemingly suffering from anxiety. It is a book that should be read by anyone recently realizing they have anxiety or even for a veteran to let them know they are not alone in their feelings." --cited from amreading website.
