Ensayo sobre la ceguera / Blindness

Jose Saramago

Ensayo sobre la ceguera es la ficcion de un autor que nos alerta sobre la responsabilidad de tener ojos cuando otros los perdieron .

Dentro de nosotros hay algo que no tiene nombre, esa cosa es lo que somos.
Un hombre parado ante un semaforo en rojo se queda ciego subitamente. Es el primer caso de una ceguera blanca que se expande de manera fulminante. Internados en cuarentena o perdidos en la ciudad, los ciegos tendran que enfrentarse con lo que existe de mas primitivo en la naturaleza humana: la voluntad de sobrevivir a cualquier precio.

Ensayo sobre la ceguera es la ficcion de un autor que nos alerta sobre la responsabilidad de tener ojos cuando otros los perdieron .

Jose Saramago traza en este libro una imagen aterradora y conmovedora de los tiempos que estamos viviendo. En un mundo asi, ?cabra alguna esperanza? El lector conocera una experiencia imaginativa unica. En un punto donde se cruzan literatura y sabiduria, Jose Saramago nos obliga a parar, cerrar los ojos y ver. Recuperar la lucidez y rescatar el afecto son dos propuestas fundamentales de una novela que es, tambien, una reflexion sobre la etica del amor y la solidaridad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

During the town elections of a nameless city, most of its inhabitants, by their own individual choices, decide to exert their voting rights in an unexpected way. The dirty and sneaky officials in power start making arrangements to eliminate the guilty parties; and if they cannot find any, they will have to make them up.

The protagonists of this new novel, a policeman and the woman who was able to maintain her sight in the novel Blindness, are samples of the moral heights that these anonymous citizens are able to reach when they decide to exert their freedom. Saramago, a writer who has become the awakening conscience of a time blinded by the mechanisms of power, sends out an alert: There may be a day when we will have to ask, Who has signed this in my name? That day may very well be today.
