内容简介
· · · · · ·
Winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature. A city is hit by an epidemic of ‘white blindness.’ The blindness spreads, sparing no one. Authorities confine the blind to a vacant mental hospital secured by armed guards. Inside, the criminal element among the blind hold the rest captive: food rations are stolen, women are raped. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven strangers through the barren streets. The developments within this oddly anonymous group — the first blind man, the old man with the black eye patch, the girl with dark glasses, the boy with no mother, and the dog of tears — are as uncanny as the surrounding chaos is harrowing. PA parable of loss and disorientation, of man’s worst appetites and hopeless weaknesses, Blindness is one of the most challenging, thought-provoking, and ultimately exhilarating novels published in any language in recent years.
作者简介
· · · · · ·
José de Sousa Saramago (pronounced [ʒuˈzɛ sɐɾɐˈmagu]) was a Nobel-laureate Portuguese novelist, playwright, and journalist. He was a member of the Portuguese Communist Party.
His works, some of which can be seen as allegories, commonly present subversive perspectives on historic events, emphasizing the human factor rather than the officially sanctioned story. Saramago was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1998. He founded the National Front for the Defense of Culture (Lisbon, 1992) with among others Freitas-Magalhaes. He lived on Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Spain, where he died in June 2010.
A foundation with his name was established in 2007; its main aims are cultural promotion, particularly of Portuguese literature and authors. The José Saramago Foundation is currently based in Casa dos Bicos, a Portuguese landmark building in Lisbon. Saramago’s house in Lanzarote is also open to the public.
José Saramago, together with his wife Pilar, were the subject of the award-winning documentary José e Pilar, providing us with a glimpse into their love story and life, as he was writing his A Viagem do Elefante.
评论 ······
在回国后隔离的第十一天看完了这本书。从去年的八分知道了这本书，谁知道长讲了两期就弃了😂太黑暗太绝望了，只有医生妻子一个人像圣母一样在黑暗里作为唯一的一束光带领大家前行。（作者的长句子读的也好累）在新冠的背景下看这本书感触很深。人性真的很脆弱，我还是很悲观的觉得世界末日真的来临的那天比起团结起来，人类相互厮杀的可能性会更大些。

可以说得上真的算是一口气看完的这本书，可读性很强，有一个相对美好的结局。真希望自己回到上学时候，那时候看这本书一定会觉得刷新认知拍案叫绝吧。
萨拉马戈简直有毒……这可怕的叙事能力……通过翻译都能窥见作者对语言的纯熟运用，简单明了，但要节奏有节奏，要层次有层次，要美感有美感。如果作者是用英语或者其他影响力更大的语言写作，估计早就红遍全球了。
