«Abaddón el exterminador» is the existentialist novel by Ernesto Sabato, published by Seix Barral in paperback (484 pages, in Spanish).
The novel addresses the search for meaning in a chaotic world, with a fragmented narrative that delves into solitude and the absurd. Sabato incorporates himself as a character in a technical construction that plays with perspectives and references to «Informe sobre ciegos», while exploring the psychic depths of his characters.
It closes the trilogy begun with «El túnel» and «Sobre héroes y tumbas». It is part of the Literatura Contemporánea collection from Seix Barral, number 8. It received the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger in Paris in 1976.
Recommended for readers of twentieth-century Argentine narrative and contemporary fiction interested in a dense and experimental work.
Ernesto Sabato was an Argentine novelist, essayist, painter, and physicist. According to the BBC he "won some of the most prestigious prizes in Hispanic literature" and "became very influential in the literary world throughout Latin America". Upon his death El País dubbed him the "last classic writer in Argentine literature".
