Review:
El tunel"" (1948), del argentino Ernesto Sabato, es una de las grandes novelas sudamericanas de este siglo, cuyos ecos recogieron pronto en Europa Graham Greene y Camus. El relato, montado con los recursos de la novela policial, desarrolla un personaje que revela su psicologia introspectiva e impone al lector un analisis de la desesperanza. El protagonista, Juan Pablo Castel, persigue inutilmente lo inalcanzable, que no es sino el regreso a la infancia, simbolizada en la ventana de un cuadro, motivo reiterado largamente en la narracion. --Los editores
