Lord of Darkness

Evil and darkness have dominated the earth. Satan destroyed God and took his place, and spread the lie to the world that God defeated Satan. Thus, he made people believe that God is responsible for the frightening world we live in and discredited Him. Otherwise, how could that God allow millions of people to be burned in concentration camps, turned into monsters with atomic bombs in Hiroshima, napalm bombs in Vietnam, stripped of their humanity and killed on torture benches?

After abandoning science and “the light,” Sabato published only three novels. After Tünel and Heroes and Graves published by Ayrinti Publishing, the book you have in your hand is the last of this trilogy. The loneliness, need for communication and depression that he traces in the first two novels; Motifs such as blindness, incest, death, evil, and heroism, reaching the level of obsession and perhaps paranoia, reach their fullest in The Lord of Darkness.

These three The novel is connected to each other with "a network of compound containers", thin tubes and channels. Beyond a Buenos Aires novel, what emerges is a novel of humanity, regardless of origin and race. In addition to famous Argentinians such as Che and Borges, who appear in the novel, a large cast of people from the intellectuals of the period to exiled Nazi officers fills our imagination. Some of the heroes who are in fetal form in Tunnel develop a little in Heroes and Graves; In The Lord of Darkness, they stand in front of the author, questioning him, and causing trouble for him.

A book that has taken its place among the classics of the century.
