«Avant la fin» is a memoir by Ernesto Sabato, published by Seuil in paperback (224 pages, in French).
In these memoirs, Ernesto Sabato takes stock of his life and the twentieth century: pain and hope, political violence, literature as commitment, and faith in utopia. The Argentine writer evokes his encounters with Marie Curie, Thomas Mann, Albert Camus and Jorge Luis Borges, and reviews some of the great ideological currents that marked his era.
This work was originally published in Spanish as «Antes del fin»; the French edition, which appeared in 2000, belongs to the Cadre vert collection.
For readers of memoirs and essays, especially those seeking the intellectual and political history of the twentieth century told by a direct witness.
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".
