Synopsis

A terrifying allegory of the dark times of the new millennium. A driver waiting at a red light suddenly becomes blind. So does his wife and the doctor who examines them. They are the first cases of an epidemic of blindness. A magnificent parable of loss and disorientation and a vivid evocation of the horrors of the 20th century, Blindness masterfully portrays man's worst appetites and weaknesses-and man's ultimately exhilarating spirit. The stunningly powerful novel of man's will to survive against all odds, by the winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Description in Spanish: 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.
