Synopsis "Abaddón el Exterminador (Col. Biblioteca. Breve) (in Spanish)"

Abaddón el exterminador cierra la trilogía iniciada en El túnel y proseguida en Sobre héroes y tumbas. Desarrollando en su más amplio registro la metáfora del «Informe sobre ciegos», esta insólita y profunda novela hace ingresar a Ernesto Sabato en el ámbito mismo de la escritura, y lo incorpora como personaje en una compleja construcción técnica cuyo juego de perspectivas remite a la vez a la realidad de un tiempo de apocalipsis y a las simas anímicas donde bucea el poder visionario del acto creador. Así, en la cúspide de su grandeza, esta vasta obra totalizadora culmina y comprende todo el arte sabatiano y la hondura de su indagación existencial. Abaddón el exterminador fue galardonado en París como el mejor libro extranjero publicado en Francia en 1976.

Ernesto Sabato (1911-2011) was born in Rojas, Buenos Aires Province. He earned his PhD in Physics and studied philosophy at the University of La Plata, worked on atomic radiations at the Curie Laboratory, and permanently left science in 1945 to dedicate himself exclusively to literature. He has written several essay books about man in the crisis of our time and about the meaning of literary activity ?thus, The Writer and His Ghosts (1963; Seix Barral, 1979), Apologies and Rejections (Seix Barral, 1979), One and the Universe (Seix Barral, 1981) and The Resistance (Seix Barral, 2000)?, his autobiography, Before the End (Seix Barral, 1999), and three novels whose definitive versions were presented by Seix Barral to the Spanish-speaking public in 1978: The Tunnel in 1948, On Heroes and Tombs in 1961 and Abaddón the Exterminator in 1974 (awarded in Paris as the best foreign novel published in France in 1976). Writers as diverse as Albert Camus, Graham Greene and Thomas Mann, Salvatore Quasimodo and Guido Piovene, Witold Gombrowicz and Maurice Nadeau have written with admiration about his work, which has received the Cervantes Prize, the Menéndez Pelayo Prize and the Jerusalem Prize.
