Ernesto Roque Sabato nació el 24 de junio de 1911 en Rojas, provincia de Buenos Aires, hizo su doctorado en física y cursos de filosofía en la Universidad de La Plata, trabajó en radiaciones atómicas en el Laboratorio Curie, en Francia, y abandonó definitivamente la ciencia en 1945 para dedicarse exclusivamente a la literatura. Ha escrito varios libros de ensayo sobre el hombre en la crisis de nuestro tiempo y sobre el sentido de la actividad literaria —así, El escritor y sus fantasmas, Apologías y rechazos, Uno y el Universo y La resistencia—, su autobiografía, Antes del fin, y tres novelas: El túnel, Sobre héroes y tumbas y Abaddón, el exterminador. Escritores tan dispares como Camus, Greene y Thomas Mann, como Quasimodo y Piovene, como Gombrowicz y Nadeau han escrito con admiración sobre su obra, que ha obtenido el Premio Cervantes, el Premio Menéndez Pelayo, el Premio Jerusalén y la Medalla de Oro del Círculo de Bellas Artes de Madrid.

Ernesto Sabato was an Argentine writer, painter and physicist. According to the BBC he "won some of the most prestigious prizes in Hispanic literature" and "became very influential in the literary world throughout Latin America". Upon his death El País dubbed him the "last classic writer in Argentine literature".

Sabato was born in Rojas, a small town in Buenos Aires Province. Sabato began his studies at the Colegio Nacional de La Plata. He then studied physics at the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, where he earned a Ph.D. He then attended the Sorbonne in Paris and worked at the Curie Institute. After World War II, he lost faith in science and started writing.

Sabato's oeuvre includes three novels: El Túnel , Sobre héroes y tumbas and Abaddón el exterminador . The first of these received critical acclaim upon its publication from, among others, fellow writers Albert Camus and Thomas Mann. The second is regarded as his masterpiece, though he nearly burnt it like many of his other works. Sabato's essays cover topics as diverse as metaphysics, politics and tango. His writings led him to receive many international prizes, including the Legion of Honour , the Prix Médicis and the Miguel de Cervantes Prize .
