At the insistence of evil, literature constitutes overwhelming discourse that permeates critically the various dialogues that circulate in society, acquiring, beyond its aesthetic nature, a political dimension as a way of repairing consciousness and liberation of front to social unrest. And to the totalitarianism of the left and right in which the words missing and torture acquire a political meaning, in turn defining the contours of a new Leviathan, democracy is still the system of government that allows the development of human freedom. In this double perspective, in our thinking arises the figure of Ernesto Sabato humanist, in his essays and in his novels, who believes in democracy as a political system where it is possible that the human creature is able to develop their creative potential and acquire the category of person. With the report Never Again or Report Sabato, crystallized in 50,000 pages the denunciation of the human condition that make the creator of fictions in his Report on blind. In both reports reveals the exploration that artist does about the problem of evil-which constitutes the great ethical and aesthetic project of the artist as seer in the perspective of the search for identity Argentine man, and there comes an esthete and politician Sabato who achieves clearly define his essence as an artist and as a man of action. In these texts emerge the avatars of Latin American man from the hidden history, from the pain and the voices of marginality.
