About this product
Product Information
- A chillingly powerful dystopian vision from one of Europe's greatest writers No food, no water, no government, no obligation, no order. Discover a chillingly powerful and prescient dystopian vision from one of Europe's greatest writers. A driver waiting at the traffic lights goes blind. An ophthalmologist tries to diagnose his distinctive white blindness, but is affected before he can read the textbooks. It becomes a contagion, spreading throughout the city. Trying to stem the epidemic, the authorities herd the afflicted into a mental asylum where the wards are terrorised by blind thugs. And when fire destroys the asylum, the inmates burst forth and the last links with a supposedly civilised society are snapped. This is not anarchy, this is blindness. 'Saramago repeatedly undertakes to unite the pressing demands of the present with an unfolding vision of the future. This is his most apocalyptic, and most optimistic, version of that project yet' Independent

Takes a while to get going
I’m 75% of the way through the book and am pleased to mention that it’s getting good. The first half took some skim reading to get through otherwise I’d never had progressed. It’s an interesting approach to writing a novel and I’d recommend it friends on the premise that t takes a while to get going.
