En av 1900-talets stora latinamerikanska författare & en central impuls för den magiska realismen »Ernesto Sabato var en av 1900-talets viktigaste latinamerikanska romanförfattare.« Hanna Nordenhök, ExpressenNär den unge Martín del Carril förälskar sig i den gåtfulla Alejandra Vidal Olmos dras han in i en värld av passion, förtvivlan och en familjs mörka arv. En berättelse som överlappar med den mystiske Fernando Vidal, vars paranoida skrifter beskriver en sekt av blinda som kontrollerar världen från underjordiska gångar. Argentinaren Ernesto Sabato publicerade bara tre romaner, vilka tillsammans bildar ett säreget litterärt universum och gav en avgörande impuls till den latinamerikanska magiska realismen. I sitt mästerverk från 1961, Om hjältar och gravar, låter han 1950-talets Buenos Aires växa till en myllrande hallucination, där det gamla kolonialväldets galenskap möter galenskapen i modernitet och kapitalism. I översättning av Peter Landelius. ERNESTO SABATO [1911-2011] var en argentinsk författare och fysiker. Efter andra världskriget gav han upp sin karriär som vetenskapsman för litteraturen. Utöver sina tre romaner - Tunneln [1948], Om hjältar och gravar [1961] och Abaddón, utplånaren [1974] - publicerade han en rad essäböcker och ledde en kommission som undersökte den argentinska diktaturens förbrytelser på 1970-talet; först därefter blev han tvungen att lämna hemlandet.

Ernesto Sabato nos pone en guardia contra los peligros que aquejan nuestra cultura, ahora en la m s grave encrucijada de su historia. La resistencia es un libro para aquellos que saben leer los s mbolos que se abisman entre uno y el universo: la incomunicaci n, el narcisismo, la reverencia a los dioses de la televisi n, el trabajo deshumanizado, el imperio de la m quina sobre el ser, el sometimiento y la masificaci n, el creciente sentimiento de orfandad, la competencia feroz y el v rtigo apocal ptico en el que toda posibilidad de di logo desaparece. Entonces la pregunta es: C mo resistir? ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONErnesto Sabato warns us against the dangers that afflict our culture, now at the most serious crossroads in its history. La resistencia is a book for those who know how to read the symbols that sink between one and the universe: lack of communication, narcissism, reverence for the gods of television, dehumanized work, the empire of the machine over being, subjection and massification, the growing feeling of orphanhood, fierce competition and apocalyptic vertigo in which all possibility of dialogue disappears. So the question is: How to resist?

Ernesto Sabato desnud en esta obra su alma y expuso sus m s iluminadoras reflexiones sobre el arte de escribir. Este libro -nos dice Ernesto Sabato en su pr logo- est constituido por variaciones de un solo tema, tema que me ha obsesionado desde que escribo: por qu , c mo y para qu se escriben ficciones? El autor responde a ello en apuntes que tienen algo de "diario de un escritor" y se parecen m s que nada a ese tipo de consideraciones que los escritores han hecho siempre en sus confidencias y en sus cartas .

Tre vidunderliga romaner samlade i en volym»Ernesto Sábato var en av 1900-talets viktigaste latinamerikanska romanförfattare. Argentinas galenskap samlar hans tre, på olika vis fullkomligt hisnande, romaner.« Hanna Nordenhök, Expressen »Vresigt, trasigt och vackert om ett Argentina i upplösningstillstånd.« Oscar Westerholm, SydsvenskanArgentinaren Ernesto Sabato publicerade endast tre romaner, vilka tillsammans bildar ett säreget litterärt universum. I debuten Tunneln från 1948, som influerats av surrealismen, mördar målaren Juan Pablo Castel den enda människa som förstår honom. Mästerverket från 1961, Om hjältar och gravar, låter 1950-talets Buenos Aires växa till en myllrande hallucination, där det gamla kolonialväldets galenskap möter galenskapen i modernitet och kapitalism, varefter den löst sammanhållna trilogin år 1974 kulminerar i Abaddón, utplånaren - en fragmentarisk, upplöst roman där självbiografiska spår vävs in i apokalyptiska visioner av såväl bibliska förintelser som bomben i Hiroshima och Vietnamkriget. Med dessa vidunderliga romaner, här samlade i en volym, gav Ernesto Sabato en avgörande impuls till den magiska realismen och förändrade Latinamerikas litteratur i grunden.

The most important work of fiction by a major Latin America author. On Heroes and Tombs is woven around a violent crime: the scion of a prominent Argentinian family, Alejandra, shoots her father and burns herself alive over his corpse.

Exploring the tumult of Buenos Aires in the 1950s, characters are illuminated against burning churches and corporate greed. An examination of Argentinian history and culture, it reveals the country at every level, leading its reader into a world of passion, philosophy, and paranoia.

Their lives entwine in Ernesto Sabato's dark epic of passion, philosophy and paranoia in Buenos Aires. 'Bewitched, baroque, monumental' Newsweek
