One of the most important writers in Argentina's post-World War II history, Ernesto Sabato had a distinguished career as both an essayist and novelist. After graduating from the University of Buenos Aires with degrees in aesthetics and law, Sabato traveled to Europe where he met André Malraux and Albert Camus. Returning home to Argentina he began to publish critical essays on subjects such as art and literature. In 1955 his novel Los nacimientos was published which sold well but also brought him into conflict with the Argentine right wing dictatorship, leading him into exile for seven years in Spain and France before returning to Argentina after democracy was restored in 1983. As well as his novels, he also wrote poetry, essays, an opera libretto, and film scripts. He received numerous awards during his lifetime including the Jerusalem Prize in 1987 and the Biblioteca Breve Prize in 1999. His work has been translated into many languages including English by Norman Thomas di Giovanni. Ernesto Sabato was born on July 28 1903 in Buenos Aires to a middle-class family of German descent. They were cultured but not well off and this would have a considerable influence on Sabato's later life. His father was Julio Sabato, an engineer who spent most of his life working for the Argentine Railway Company Ferrocarril Central Argentino. Sabato has said that his father was mild mannered but kept bad company. This meant the family were sometimes the victims of crime. Sabato also thought he may have had Sephardic Jewish ancestry, after an apparent encounter with a Sephardic Jew by the name of Enrique Carasso who may have been a distant relative on his mother's side. Sabato attended Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires where he met Raúl Scalabrini Ortiz, who became a friend and later key figure in Sabato's life. After Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires he attended the University of Buenos Aires where he graduated with degrees in aesthetics and law in 1927. He also taught English at the University of Buenos Aires where he was awarded the Vittorio Emanuele prize for literary translations. Sabato continued his studies in Europe, mostly in Italy where he traveled to the then-Fascist Germany. He reached Germany in 1924 and stayed until 1926. He was linked with two important figures during this time Sebastian Haffner and Alfred Adler, both men who would have a major influence on Sabato's life. Sabato's first novel, Ensayo de un crimen (The Attempted Crime) is a Kafkaesque and surrealist account of six characters in search of a seventh. The characters in the book include Dr. Urbino who has been sentenced to death for unspecified crimes and is in search of shelter, Ambrosio Olmos the builder who has constructed a house for himself and his wife but it doesn't fit him, two men (Orlando and Hegell) looking to commit suicide but they encounter problems when Orlando is unable to kill himself, Delfín Prado an official working for the Argentine Railway who meets up with Raimundo Fernández Villaverde who comes from Spain. cfa1e77820
