Una ceguera blanca se expande de manera fulminante. Internados en cuarentena o perdidos por la ciudad, los ciegos deben enfrentarse a lo más primitivo de la especie humana: la voluntad de sobrevivir a cualquier precio.

José Saramago, Premio Nobel de Literatura 1998, teje una aterradora parábola acerca del ser humano, que encierra lo más sublime y miserable de nosotros mismos.

Blindness tells of an epidemic where the world sees white. The result is a societal dystopia, first in quarantine and then in a world of the blind. Food is scarce, filth is everywhere, and any small injury could be fatal.

José Saramago was one of a kind, a unique storyteller and gifted artist who always had something to say, and always said it with such a brilliant prose, translated with equal skill by his two main translators. This is among his best books, an example of how he can make the societal personal, and can make even a very unlikely story seem deeply real and troubling.
