Title : The Seven Madmen - Roberto Arlt - book
Summary :
The hero of this novel plans with six other "madmen" to found a secret society financed by the profits of a network of brothels. Their goal: To bring about social revolution and free mankind from degradation and humiliation. But these demiurges of the underworld, these deviant messiahs, prove incapable of plotting anything other than improbable chimeras, dreams of a miserable humanity wanting to practice massacre on a large scale in order to finally "exist." In The Flamethrowers (which continues the epic of The Seven Madmen), they will plunge into the abyss of crime and madness. A legendary novel from Buenos Aires, The Seven Madmen, with its Dostoevskian overtones, its Célinean transgression, and its prophetic tone, remains the masterpiece of a literary genius. Preface by Julio Cortázar Translated from Spanish (Argentinian) by Isabelle and Antoine Berman.
