Ernesto Sabato, the Argentine novelist, wrote this short work as a series of reflections addressed to the reader. He is worried about a world shaped by money, technology and the market, in which people are treated as consumers, and he calls for resistance based on personal responsibility, solidarity, and keeping a sense of the human. He mixes memory, philosophy and a call to action, and writes with an unusual tenderness.
It is for readers who know his novels, and for those looking for a humanist response to consumer culture. It is short enough to read in a sitting and return to.
Balanced in tone; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Story Seeker. Which reader are you?
