Report on the Blind

Ernesto Sabato

Luis Scafati (Illustrations)

"Oh gods of the night! Oh gods of darkness, of incest and crime, melancholy and suicide! Oh gods of rats and caverns, of bats and cockroaches! Oh violent and inscrutable gods of dreams and deaths!"

From the confined world of a mad man, the details of a systematized delirium are described with a forewarned tragic ending: "When did this begin which shall now end with my murder?"

Published in 1961 in the novel On heroes and tombs, a classic Latin American literature. In Report on the Blind, Ernesto Sabato created a version of Hell, where the reader dares to abandon all hope, were there will be no redemption. Luis Scafati masterfully illustrates the details of this dark labyrinth in black and white.
