ernesto sabato novel.

Hi cole Todos.es the play I read this wonderful book by Ernesto Sabato and wanted to make a post about this book.
I hope my work will serve.



The tunnel structure is a psychological novel written by Argentinian Ernesto Sabato. Presented in the character of Maria Iribarne, understanding the full and absolute while the hidden areas of mystery that will power to kill Juan Pablo Castel. The painter, in shaping domestic obsession must renounce any other option, in a process that is both constructive and destructive focus the analysis of the motives of the crime. Essential work of Ernesto Sabato, the tunnel gives us the basic elements of his metaphysical view of existentialism. It is a work in which pessimism abounds in every dialogue or thought of the characters.

The tunnel, as Sabato called his book, is the darkness of the soul, what man tries to know as to the truth.

After its publication in 1948, Sabato achieved international recognition by receiving praise from personalities such as Thomas Mann and Albert Camus.

The tunnel, a story about isolation and the conversion of love into hate, is a novel easy to read, that police may consider, but not mystery, from the beginning we know who is the victim and who the murderer. Despite the bitterness and pessimism that runs through the tragic story, Sabato also leaves room for irony.

They were introduced by a picture he had painted of which she became fascinated. Then continued to have an affair while she was married. The cause of death of Mary was that John Paul was obsessed with her, and that he played against because she lived on her.

What regards the title of the work?

The title of the work means that he lived in a dark tunnel in which he had spent his life. Although initially thought he and Mary were in parallel tunnels, then realized there was only one tunnel and it was his. Verbatim in the book reads: "In any case, there was only one tunnel, dark and solitary: mine, the tunnel had passed my childhood, my youth, my entire life"
