Description
On Heroes and Tombs by Ernesto Sabato is a dark epic that explores passion, philosophy, and paranoia in Buenos Aires. In 1955, Alejandra, last of a noble yet decaying dynasty, commits an act of insanity that sets off a chain of events. As the lives of Alejandra, her lover Martín, writer Bruno, and her father Fernando entwine, Sabato's monumental novel reveals the complexities of human nature. Through its baroque and bewitching narrative, On Heroes and Tombs delves into the troubled relationships between these characters, each with their own secrets and demons. The result is a haunting tale that lingers long after the final page has been turned. Published in 1955, this novel has been hailed for its uncompromising and original storytelling, offering a unique perspective on the human condition.
