About The Book

Blindness

A Magnificent parable of loss and disorientation and a vivid evocation of the horrors of the twentieth century, Saramago’s surreal allegory explores the ability of the human spirit to prevail in even the most absurdly unjust of conditions. It is the voice of Blindness that gives it its charm. By turns ironic, humorous and frank. It is simultaneously contemporary and timeless, and ambitiously confronts the human condition without a false struck anywhere. The Book is a powerful portrayal of human’s appetites and weakness and human’s ultimately exhilarating spirit.
