    Very nice story and nice writing style.
    Certainly, the use of only "." and "," as punctuation marks may make it difficult for some to read and may require some familiarization, but the work is full of significant meanings that are hidden in the statements of the protagonists. The ending of the novel is also amazing

    A story that could have been much better if it was condensed into 150 pages instead of 350. The author meanders constantly, and the unconventional use of punctuation becomes very tiresome for the reader. From about halfway through, I kept reading in hopes of a twist that would lead to an explosive ending, but it never happened. This book does not suit my tastes in any case.

Product report

Description & Specifications

A man suddenly loses his sight. Incidents of sudden blindness escalate, and the government decides to quarantine the blind.

With bureaucratic precision, José Saramago has calculated everything that could happen in a world that is losing its vision.

For how long will traffic on the streets be smooth? For how long will food suffice for the hungry hordes? How much time is needed for the supply of electricity, gas, and water to collapse? What will happen to pets? The sexual taboos? How many blind people constitute a blindness?

And finally: In a world of the blind, what would you do if you could see?

[Excerpt from the text on the back cover of the edition]

A man suddenly loses his sight. The incidents of sudden blindness escalate, and the government decides to quarantine the blind. With bureaucratic precision, José Saramago has calculated everything that could happen in a world that loses its vision. How long will traffic on the streets remain smooth? How long will food suffice for the hungry hordes? How much time is needed for the supply of electricity, gas, and water to collapse? What will become of the pets? The sexual barriers? How many blind people make a blindness?
And finally: In a world of the blind, what would you do if you could see?
