Sobre héroes y tumbas is a novel by the Argentine writer Ernesto Sabato, published in 1961. Considered a total novel, it combines elements of surrealism and the tradition of the Bildungsroman. The plot describes a family through time, with decadent overtones, similar to the works of Faulkner and García Márquez. The novel explores themes of love, madness, and the search for identity in a complex social and political context.
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".
