摘要
A comparative analysis is carried out between the novels El land, by Ernesto Sabato, and El extranjero, by Albert Camus. We follow the methodology of comparative literature, in its thematic branch, to study in both works the existentialist concepts of nothingness, the absurd, the Camusian myth of Sisyphus and rebellion. By recovering the idea of the transition between absurdity and rebellion, raised by the researcher Juvenal Vargas Munoz, we have discovered that the two writers update the Aristotelian tragic scheme from the terms 'hybris', 'anagnorisis' and 'hamartia', Thanks to this we can propose an original and novel interpretation of the novels.
