La Resistencia

In this 5 essays book, Sabato let us know his point of viewof reality and how values are getting changed without being analized. Mass media an technology can be helpful but also, has negative implications. The joy of life according to Sabato can be found on simple things but sometimes we have so busy life we are not concern about it. Culture, technology, values, life, mass media, education, government, exploitation and economic issues are discussed in this excellent book. A must read.

After reading "The Tunnel", the last thing I expected from Sabato was an optimistic and mystical reflection like the one in "La Resistencia". Still, Sabato is in his 80s, and being 22, it seems like I'm a long way behind from the ways of a senior and very wise novelist. Very entertaining, easy to read, and will give you another dimension of modern life.But "The Tunnel" is a much better book.

Sabato really struck a strong chord with me. Not only was the writing sentimental, which can be expected from an octogenarian, but surprisingly it was also forward-thinking. When I began couldn't help but expect a book-long rant from an old man saying how much technology and TV were tools of the devil, and that things just weren't how they used to be. Then I noticed that Sabato did not indulge in that sort of easy answer to the obvious-but-overlooked downfalls of the technology age. He clearly wrote of the greatness of our age, and the inevitable weakness that accompanies that success. For many of us who owe our salaries and financial stability to technology, this book speaks like a conscience. It speaks like an open door to someone who gets their cast off today. Beautiful porten~o Spanish. Straight-forward talk. This is an inspirational book.-Brigham.

This book is not his best, but even though you can see whatever you look that it has the "mark of Ernesto". Sabato penetrates in this book, as always, into the deepest aspects of human being.You can take this album as a way of "resiting and surviving"...
