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.

A really powerful and wrenching book, exploring the darker sides of human behavior in an almost post-apocalyptic setting. The writing style's a bit off-putting, at first (like Cormac McCarthy's The Road, only well-done), but once you get into it, it is very hard to put this book down. Or to stop thinking about it.
