Por detrás dos altos muros, do lado de lá dos portões reforçados por barreiras e franqueados por guaritas de vigilância, encontra-se o condomínio fechado de Altos de la Cascada. Cá fora, o bairro popular de Santa María de los Tigrecitos, a auto-estrada, a cidade, o resto do mundo. Em Altos de la Cascada vivem famílias que levam um estilo de vida que querem manter custe o que custar. No condomínio, um grupo de homens reúne-se semanalmente longe dos olhares dos filhos, das empregadas domésticas e das mulheres (que, excluídas desse encontro varonil, se autodenominam, brincando, «as viúvas das quintas-feiras»). Mais eis que uma noite a rotina se quebra e esse facto permite descobrir, num país que está a desmoronar-se, o lado obscuro de uma vida perfeita.

Remo Erdosain's Buenos Aires is a dim, seething, paranoid hive of hustlers and whores, scoundrels and madmen, and Erdosain feels his soul is as polluted as anything in this dingy city. Possessed by the directionlessness of the society around him, trapped between spiritual anguish and madness, he clings to anything that can give his life meaning: small-time defrauding of his employers, hatred of his wife's cousin Gregorio Barsut, a part in the Astrologer's plans for a new world order... but is that enough? Or is the only appropriate response to reality - insanity?Written in 1929, The Seven Madmen depicts an Argentina on the edge of the precipice. This teeming world of dreamers, revolutionaries and scheming generals was Arlt's uncanny prophesy of the cycle of conflict which would scar his country's passage through the twentieth century, and even today it retains its power as one of the great apocalyptic works of modern literature.

The story of a fantastic wedding, the return of the bride to her parents in disgrace, her brothers' resolve to seek revenge on her corruptor, and the townspeoples' refusal to depart from routine.

As the citizens of an unnamed Caribbean nation creep through dusty corridors in search of their tyrannical leader, they cannot comprehend that the frail and withered man lying dead on the floor can be the self-styled General of the Universe.
