Description

From Nobel Prize–winning writer José Saramago, an impressive, magical tale of reduction   A city is hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" that spares no body. Authorities confine the blind to a clear mental hospital, but the legal component holds everyone captive, attacking girls and taking food rations there. There's one eyewitness for this nightmare who guides her charges—among them a boy with no mother, a woman with dark glasses, your dog of tears—through the streets, as uncanny whilst the environments are traumatic and their procession becomes. As Blindness reclaims age-old tale of the trouble, it evokes the vibrant and uncomfortable disasters of the twentieth-century, leaving visitors with a strong vision of the human nature that is destined equally by weakness and exciting power.
