«Sobre héroes y tumbas» is the novel by Argentine writer Ernesto Sábato, published by Biblioteca Ayacucho in paperback (406 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Martín and Alejandra, whose bond is marked by anguish and destiny; Alejandra belongs to a decaying oligarchic lineage. Interwoven with that story is the memory of the soldiers who, defeated with General Lavalle, carried his body into exile, in a narrative that traverses solitude, madness, and the question of meaning.
The work, originally published in 1961, was awarded the Premio Biblioteca Breve and the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger.
A central work of twentieth-century Argentine narrative, for readers of Latin American classics.
Ernesto Sabato was an Argentine novelist, essayist, painter, and physicist. According to the BBC he "won some of the most prestigious prizes in Hispanic literature" and "became very influential in the literary world throughout Latin America". Upon his death El País dubbed him the "last classic writer in Argentine literature".
