Summary: On Heroes and Toms
Review: I have never read a book that touched me as much as this one. It is a must read for lovers of compex stories and dense psychology. One of the finest gems of Latin American literature that can not be missed. Read it once, and you'll be changed for life.

Summary: Sublime novel !
Review: Sabato was in his early twenties a notable physician , but suddenly he discovered his real bliss in the literature world .
This work contains the Brody file in which the author talks about a secret society composed for blind people who wants to rule the world .
In the great tyradition of Lovecraft and Maupassant we find this latin american writer .
Get close to him and you will be surprised with his enormous gifts and talent.

Summary: way more than a novel
Review: This book is not only a masterpiece, but a sort of encyclopedia almost indispensable to understand the nature of us, the argentinians. Our love to the neighbourhood and its carachters, the bohemian Buenos Aires, our introspection and constant dissatisfied and melancholy. This hugh writer (one of those that are born once in a lifetime)couldn't had been born somewhere else but here. Anyway, it doesn't matter where you are from, you shouldn't let this book pass. I don't have much else to say, a good piece of art always talks by itself.

Summary: Difficult people have tormented love affairs
Review: This is the story of the tormented love affair between Martin and Alejandra. She is unapprehensible, strange and cruel. Martin loves her passionately, but she despises him and treats him really bad. Her father is a paranoid who spends his life studying the blind and feeling chased by them (Sabato, like Saramago, is also obsessed with blindness). This is a complex book about dark and obnubilated minds, lost in a chaos of doubts and insecurities, of tragedy, solitude and mistery. Although the treatment of the plot is interesting, especially the chapter on blindness, I found the characters unlikable. I don't agree with people that don't like books because the characters were unlikable. Then we should only write books about nice persons. But these characters were utterly irritating. Perhaps, though, you can find real depth and meaning in the book.
