A museum-quality piece of philosophical and literary history.This is the incredibly rare 1949 First Spanish Edition of Jean-Paul Sartre’s La Náusea, published in Buenos Aires by Editorial Losada. This isn't just any vintage book; it is one of only 5,000 copies ever printed in this initial 1949 run, as confirmed by the original colophon.Why this 1949 edition is a cornerstone for collectors:
Legendary Translation: Translated by Aurora Bernárdez, a titan of Latin American letters. This is the definitive translation that introduced Sartre's existentialism to the Spanish-speaking world.
Extreme Scarcity: With only 5,000 copies printed 75 years ago, very few have survived in any condition.
Iconic Aesthetic: Featuring the original, bold mid-century cover art. This copy shows its age with "intellectual character"—expect shelf wear to the edges and spine, but the interior remains a crisp, sturdy testament to a bygone era of radical thought.
This is a rare opportunity to own a verified first-run copy of one of the 20th century's most important books. A must-have for the serious collector of Sartre, Losada imprints, or rare Spanish first editions.
