Memoria y narración en la novela Sobre héroes y tumbas de Ernesto Sábato

Abstract

The characters in the novel On Heroes and Tombs are tied to their memories, immersed in the search for moments, places and other traces of the past that allow them to understand their being and existence in the world. Bruno and Martin persist in the act of remembering, which implies defining themselves in a particular time and space, through the extraneous view of those who have abandoned their world and left a mark on their existence. This article is based on the thinking of Paul Ricoeur and his text Memory, History, Forgetting.
