Ernesto Sabato
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ernesto Sabato (born June 24, 1911, at Rojas, a tiny town in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an Argentine writer of Italian and ethnic Albanian descent. He began his studies at the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, where he earned a Ph.D. in Physics. He then attended the Sorbonne in Paris and worked at the Curie Institute. After World War II, he lost faith in science and started writing.
By request of president Raúl Alfonsín, he presided over the CONADEP commission that investigated the fate of the desaparecidos during the Dirty War of the 1970s.
