Synopsis "Abaddon el Exterminador la Nacion (in Spanish)"

En esta obra grandiosa y alucinante el autor evoca las potencias del Mal y el reino de los demonios con su extraordinaria y profética mirada. Publicada en 1974 y premiada en Paris como la mejor novela extranjera en 1976, Abaddon el Exterminador constituye el gran legado literario del maestro Ernesto Sábato. Cuando el Quinto Ángel del apocalipsis irrumpe con la fuerza de un huracán sombrío y devastador, para recuperar las raíces antiguas de la tragedia, el lector ingresa al mundo mas fascinante y aterrador de la literatura argentina. Abaddon el Exterminador es una vasta novela onírica, visionaria y anunciadora de nuestro tiempo que le valió a Sábato los justos apodos de "poeta del Apocalipsis" y "testigo del infierno".

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.
