About This Book
A city is hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" which spares no one.
Authorities confine the blind to an empty mental hospital, but there the
criminal element holds everyone captive, stealing food rations and
raping women. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven
strangers-among them a boy with no mother, a girl with dark glasses, a
dog of tears-through the barren streets, and the procession becomes as
uncanny as the surroundings are harrowing. A magnificent parable of loss
and disorientation and a vivid evocation of the horrors of the twentieth
century, Blindness has swept the reading public with its powerful
portrayal of 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.
