Books like La nausée by Jean-Paul Sartre


The book is presented as a diary written by a historian who relocates to a small northern French port to research a biography. As he immerses himself in the town, his perception of reality fades, leaving him overwhelmed by a profound sense of disgust towards his own existence. In his isolation he finds no refuge among friends or a romantic partner, leading him to a fraught affair that further deepens his existential crisis.
