Honoring all of his work, Saramago again gives us a sincere and realistic glimpse of a diving humanity in exceptional circumstances. Following the total blindness of the population, which has escaped one and only person, the characters will find themselves faced with barbarity, suffering, but also to the magnificent hope. The book is read in one sitting, and the magnificent style Saramago takes us once again in the privacy of the protagonists. A must read, and all the author's other works, Nobel Prize for Literature.
