Description
I write this especially for teenagers and young adults, and for those who are like me who are close to death, asking for what and why we lived and endured, dreamed, wrote, and painted." Ernesto Sabato ranges between despair and faith, giving us in this memoir his pure courage and determination, his passion and his struggle in the face of adversity, in solidarity with the disadvantaged, giving everything to art, and pinning all his hopes on young people. It tells about growing up in a large family governed by a strict parent personality. And about his transformation from a man of science to a writer, and about his time in Paris and his meeting with many writers and celebrities. We also find a collection of essays about Sabato's ideas and his criticism of the way the world has changed today.
