«El Benefactor» is the novel by Susan Sontag, published by Suma in paperback (367 pages, in Spanish).
Hippolyte, a cultured, bourgeois but apathetic young Frenchman, decides to bring to real life the desires and fantasies that populate his dreams. In seeking to turn his inner energy into action, he finds himself immersed in a hallucinatory spiral that, beyond his personal liberation, leads him to the brink of madness.
The work was originally published in 1963 under the title «The Benefactor». Susan Sontag received the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature in 2003.
For those who appreciate psychological narrative, twentieth-century classics, and the exploration of dreams.
