Ernesto Sabato nos pone en guardia contra los peligros que aquejan nuestra cultura, ahora en la más grave encrucijada de su historia.La resistencia es un libro para aquellos que saben leer los símbolos que se abisman entre uno y el universo: la incomunicación, el narcisismo, la reverencia a los dioses de la televisión, el trabajo deshumanizado, el imperio de la máquina sobre el ser, el sometimiento y la masificación, el creciente sentimiento de orfandad, la competencia feroz y el vértigo apocalíptico en el que toda posibilidad de diálogo desaparece. Entonces la pregunta es: ¿Cómo resistir?ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONErnesto Sabato warns us against the dangers that afflict our culture, now at the most serious crossroads in its history.La resistencia is a book for those who know how to read the symbols that sink between one and the universe: lack of communication, narcissism, reverence for the gods of television, dehumanized work, the empire of the machine over being, subjection and massification, the growing feeling of orphanhood, fierce competition and apocalyptic vertigo in which all possibility of dialogue disappears. So the question is: How to resist?

Ernesto Sabato desnudó en esta obra su alma y expuso sus más iluminadoras reflexiones sobre el arte de escribir.'Este libro -nos dice Ernesto Sabato en su prólogo- está constituido por variaciones de un solo tema, tema que me ha obsesionado desde que escribo: ¿por qué, cómo y para qué se escriben ficciones?' El autor responde a ello en apuntes que 'tienen algo de "diario de un escritor" y se parecen más que nada a ese tipo de consideraciones que los escritores han hecho siempre en sus confidencias y en sus cartas'.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONErnesto Sabato bared his soul in this work and exposed his most illuminating reflections on the art of writing."This book," Ernesto Sabato tells us in his prologue, "is made up of variations of a single theme, a theme that has obsessed me since I have been writing: Why, how and for what purpose are fictions written?" The author responds to this in notes that "have something of a 'writer's diary' and are more like that type of consideration that writers have always made in their confidences and in their letters".
