Format: Paperback
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.

From a writer with a progressive reputation, this book was disappointing. Sabato rails humourlessly against modern mass media, showing no conception that tools like the Internet can be put to positive use. We're ponderously told that our present crisis is due to `exploitation of man', as if that's insightful, or specific to our age. He yearns for times past when, supposedly, people `worked at a more human level' and `were freer than the man of today'. In our own hopeless age it's supposedly impossible to transmit values to new generations. Even smallpox eradication is decried as making room for cancer. Reminiscent of William Morris, Sabato looks forward to returning to the Middle Ages (`una nueva Edad Media'), which he thinks would be curative (`sanante'). I'm currently reading Galeano's Patas Arriba, looking for a vision of how to improve the future, not return to an imaginary past.

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"...

I ordered two copies of "La Resistencia" on November 1st and last week I still had no news regarding this order.

I had to contact Amazon via telephone, only to be informed by customer service that AMAZON was not going to send me the book.

When I asked for a date when Amazon was going to tell me this, they had no answer for me, none at all.

I find this to be very irresponsible and rude, that they were never going to tell me that they cancelled my order without mi consent, without my authorization and without informing me about it.

And no apology was given to me. The girl that answered the phone only told me that Amazon had cancelled the order and that if I needed something else.

And as of today I haven't yet received an e-mail from Amazon letting me know that the decided not to send me the book, or at least apologizing for the inconvenience

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.
