Tre vidunderliga romaner samlade i en volym

»Ernesto Sábato var en av 1900-talets viktigaste latinamerikanska romanförfattare. Argentinas galenskap samlar hans tre, på olika vis fullkomligt hisnande, romaner.« Hanna Nordenhök, Expressen

»Vresigt, trasigt och vackert om ett Argentina i upplösningstillstånd.« Oscar Westerholm, Sydsvenskan

Argentinaren Ernesto Sabato publicerade endast tre romaner, vilka tillsammans bildar ett säreget litterärt universum.I debuten Tunneln från 1948, som influerats av surrealismen, mördar målaren Juan Pablo Castel den enda människa som förstår honom. Mästerverket från 1961, Om hjältar och gravar, låter 1950-talets Buenos Aires växa till en myllrande hallucination, där det gamla kolonialväldets galenskap möter galenskapen i modernitet och kapitalism, varefter den löst sammanhållna trilogin år 1974 kulminerar i Abaddón, utplånaren - en fragmentarisk, upplöst roman där självbiografiska spår vävs in i apokalyptiska visioner av såväl bibliska förintelser som bomben i Hiroshima och Vietnamkriget. Med dessa vidunderliga romaner, här samlade i en volym, gav Ernesto Sabato en avgörande impuls till den magiska realismen och förändrade Latinamerikas litteratur i grunden.I svensk översättning av Martin Rogberg [Tunneln], Peter Landelius [Om hjältar och gravar] och Annika Ernstson [Abaddon, utplånaren], med ett nyskrivet förord av Anders Cullhed, professor i litteraturvetenskap vid Stockholms universitet.

ERNESTO SABATO [1911-2011] var en argentinsk författare och fysiker. Efter andra världskriget gav han upp sin karriär som vetenskapsman för litteraturen. Utöver de tre romanerna publicerade han en rad essäböcker och ledde en kommission som undersökte den argentinska diktaturens förbrytelser på 1970-talet; först därefter blev han tvungen att lämna hemlandet.

A pillar of African American literature, Richard Wright is one of the most celebrated and controversial authors in American history. His work championed intellectual freedom amid social and political chaos. Despite the popular and critical success of books such as Uncle Tom''s Children (1938), Black Boy (1945), and Native Son (1941), Wright faced staunch criticism and even censorship throughout his career for the graphic sexuality, intense violence, and communist themes in his work. Yet, many political theorists have ignored his radical ideas.

In The Politics of Richard Wright, an interdisciplinary group of scholars embraces the controversies surrounding Wright as a public intellectual and author. Several contributors explore how the writer mixed fact and fiction to capture the empirical and emotional reality of living as a black person in a racist world. Others examine the role of gender in Wright''s canonical and lesser-known writing and the implications of black male vulnerability. They also discuss the topics of black subjectivity, internationalism and diaspora, and the legacy of and responses to slavery in America.

Wright''s contributions to American political thought remain vital and relevant today. The Politics of Richard Wright is an indispensable resource for students of American literature, culture, and politics who strive to interpret this influential writer''s life and legacy.
