«Abaddón el exterminador» is the existentialist novel by Ernesto Sabato, published in 2001 by Bibliotex in hardcover (413 pages, in Spanish).
The novel closes the trilogy formed by El túnel and Sobre héroes y tumbas. With a fragmentary and dreamlike narration, Ernesto Sabato introduces himself as a character and reflects on the act of writing, evil and the search for meaning in an apocalyptic reality; the «Informe sobre ciegos» is expanded here as the central metaphor of the work.
Volume 107 of the Biblioteca El Mundo collection, with a prologue by Francisco Casavella; the work was originally published in 1974 and received the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger in 1976.
Recommended for readers of Latin American fiction and existentialist literature who want to complete Sabato's trilogy.
