«Sobre héroes y tumbas» is the novel by Argentine writer Ernesto Sabato, published by Seix Barral in paperback (505 pages, in Spanish).
The novel interweaves several dramatic love stories in Buenos Aires in the 1950s. Sabato combines surrealism with the tradition of the bildungsroman and traces the evolution of a family over time, in a narrative line that evokes Faulkner and García Márquez.
The novel was originally published in 1961; this edition is from 1995 and belongs to Seix Barral's Biblioteca de Bolsillo collection.
For readers of classics of Latin American literature and twentieth-century Argentine fiction.
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".
