SANCHEZ, Pablo. Dominios de la tragedia y la locura: “Informe sobre ciegos”, de Ernesto Sabato. Valenciana [online]. 2009, vol.2, n.4, pp.9-30. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v0i4.241.

This article wants to demonstrate that “Informe sobre ciegos” is a crucial piece in the work of Ernesto Sabato. The text expresses his protagonist’s vacillation between rationality and irrationality and presents the limitations of ratio in the spheres of human and ontological questions. “Informe sobre ciegos” is presented as a work close to the thesis of the Christian stream of French and Russian existentialism.

Keywords : Ernesto Sabato; Sobre héroes y tumbas; “Informe sobre ciegos”; rationality and irrationality; French and Russian existentialism.
