The 19th Century Russian Novel and the Dynamics of Argentinian Literature. A Case Study: ’’The Tunnel’’ by Ernesto Sábato

Summary/Abstract: With the publishing of the novel ’’The Tunnel’’ (1948), Sábato became the first Latin American writer to gain popularity in Europe and the most important representative of Existentialism in Latin America. In this paper we investigate the intertextual ties between Sábato’s text and important Russian novels of the XIX century as a means to highlight their original and innovative assimilation into the Argentinian literary tradition and the role they played in the creation of this geographical and cultural area’s literary canon. This investigation intends to systemize the variety of Russian literary models in the novel ’’The Tunnel’’.
