Blindness: A Haunting Literary Horror of Humanity's Survival and Social Breakdown – Nobel Prize Winner

A stunningly powerful novel of man's will to survive against all odds, by the winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature.

â€œThis is a shattering work by a literary master.â€â€”The Boston Globe

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
A Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year
Â
A city is hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" which spares no one. Authorities confine the blind to an empty mental hospital, but there the criminal element holds everyone captive, stealing food rations and raping women. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven strangersâ€”among them a boy with no mother, a girl with dark glasses, a dog of tearsâ€”through the barren streets, and the procession becomes as uncanny as the surroundings are harrowing. A magnificent parable of loss and disorientation and a vivid evocation of the horrors of the twentieth century, Blindness has swept the reading public with its powerful portrayal of man's worst appetites and weaknessesâ€”and man's ultimately exhilarating spirit.
