BUENOS AIRES, April 30. The writer Ernesto Sabato died this morning at the age of 99 at his home in Holy Places (Department of Tres de Febrero, north of the country), as confirmed by his late wife, Elvira González Fraga. "For fifteen days he had bronchitis and that his age is terrible," said the woman on the radio picked up by Argentina's Todo Noticias.
The writer, a literary figure in the Argentina, emerged as a national hero with his criticism of the now defunct dictatorship in Argentina and, later, with his work as head of the Conadep (National Commission on Disappeared Persons). His figure continued to gain momentum as the voice of concentrated values in youth: "Only those who can embody the utopia he said will be eligible for the decisive battle, that of recovering much of humanity we have lost," according to the obituary of the agency Telam news.
Sabato published the last of his three novels, "Abaddon the destroyer" in 1974, but was idolized by youths and students for their harsh criticism of the military dictatorship that ruled Argentina between 1976 and 1983, during which thousands of people disappeared. Sabato would be honored tomorrow at the Book Fair by the Cultural Institute of the Province of Buenos Aires on your birthday 100.
