A man goes blind at a traffic light: a «white blindness» that spreads like an epidemic. Those affected, locked in quarantine, watch as survival unleashes the most primitive side of human beings. The doctor's wife retains her sight and guides the group, in a reflection on solidarity and the responsibility of seeing when others have lost their sight.
First instalment of the Blindness series. Spanish edition translated by Basilio Losada. Work originally published in Portuguese as Ensaio sobre a Cegueira in 1995.
For readers of dystopian fiction and contemporary literature interested in the work of José Saramago; also a common choice for reading groups.
