The purpose of this article is to establish the possible literary and philosophical connections between El túnel (1948), written by Ernesto Sábato and The Collector (1963) by John Fowles. In order to accomplish this, motifs and common situations in both novels will be studied with an existentialist philosophical framework, based on the works of Jean Paul Sartre. The main points considered will be the sartrean visions of freedom, love and power. For a more or less clear concept of these ideas, both philosophical and literary works by the French intellectual will be taken into account. The investigation will analyze to what extent the influence of Sartre can be traced in the novels subject to this study, either through direct reference to the philosopher, or through similar recurring leitmotifs. ; El propósito de este artículo es establecer las posibles conexiones literarias y filosóficas entre El túnel de Ernesto Sábato (1948) y The Collector de John Fowles (1963). Para lograr esto se estudiarán motivos y situaciones comunes en ambas novelas a través del marco filosófico del existencialismo de Jean Paul Sartre. Los puntos principales que se consideran serán las visiones sartrianas de libertad, amor y poder. Para lograr un concepto más o menos claro de dichas ideas, se tendrán en cuenta obras tanto filosóficas como literarias del intelectual francés, y se procederá a investigar hasta qué punto la influencia de Sartre se presenta evidentemente en las novelas objeto de este estudio, ya sea a través de referencias directas al filósofo, o a leitmotifs recurrentes en las obras.
