Tünel

Although it was written in the first half of the twentieth century, this book is a "tunnel" dug deep into the moods that are as old as humanity and will continue to exist as long as people live. The search for identity, love, passion, suspicion and murder... A breathtaking journey in the vortex where mediocrity and the artist's spirit, mind and instinct mix together. The place it takes us is clear from the first sentence: I am "Juan Pablo Castel, that is, the painter who killed María Iribarne..." The Tunnel is the murder confession of an existential antihero. A masterpiece that Albert Camus suggested to be translated into French and which Graham Greene admired. The first step of Ernesto Sabato's journey in his philosophical and literary universe. Tünel is the first book of a trilogy that examines the fundamental intellectual problems of our age and the dark, secluded corners of societies and our souls. Aren't creativity and expression, whether desired or not, at least for empathy and understanding with a single person? What if the creator comes across such a person? The story of the painter Castel begins with such an encounter, that is, with María. It's like he found his savior, his tunnel companion. He hugs María with a morbid frenzy of spirit... In Castel's world, where love, obsession, suspicion, jealousy, boredom and madness are rampant, the sense of reality is lost step by step. Neither creator nor creation remains behind. Murder is also unsolvable, the only thing permanent is the never-ending cycle of doubt. For those who know incorrigible loves and soul eclipses...
