Specifications
A family craft that is closing. A giant fortress-like shopping center that is expanding. This is the setting of The Cave, the reason for the Portuguese author to complete his "involuntary trilogy" (along with the works Blindness and All the Names) and his reflections on the new world order.
Saramago tells the story of Cipriano Algor, a potter who sees his art and family life change when the mysterious shopping center stops buying his works, while his daughter and son-in-law invite him to move in with them to this self-sufficient Center, where consumption is mandatory and creativity unwelcome.
With his well-known narrative coherence and dramatic intensity, Saramago builds a powerful and threatening Center that swallows the city around it, the shantytowns, the fields, the old crafts, and traditional ways of life. Is there, indeed, a solution? The Cave is the first novel written by the author after winning the Nobel Prize.
