Sartre's Nausea
Twenty-five years after his death, critics and academics, film-makers and journalists continue to argue over Sartre's legacy. But certain interpretations have congealed around his iconic text Nausea, tending to confine it within the framework provided by the later philosophical work, Being and Nothingness.

This volume will interest a wide public of teachers, students and all those who want to reconsider Sartre's legacy in the twenty-first century.
