Long abstractn his novel On Heroes and Tombs, the Argentinean writer Er-nesto Sabato incorporates artistically a series of beliefs and cul-tural obsessions that directly connect blindness to the concept of darkness – and to whatever that might entail. One of the novel’s central figures, Fernando Vidal Olmos, attempts to bring to light the secrets of the Sect of the Blind, an organization which, in his deep-rooted belief, represents the Prince of Darkness and governs the world on his behalf in a shifty and infernal way and by using supernatural and invincible strengths. He thus begins a dangerous journey into the dark and underground world where he imagines the blind to initiate the new arrivals – that is, whoever has just lost their sight – and to plan their secret action. There, he finds himself in a boundless, deep and terrifying darkness, inhabited by serpents and snakes, bats and spiders, carnivorous birds that fly around him threatening him and eventually ripping out his eyes. In the tunnels he traverses looking for secret passages, the water stagnates and sticky creatures whose existence nobody could even imagine hide in the slime’s dampness.
