Book Description

August 17, 2009
A driver waiting at a red light suddenly becomes blind. So does his wife and the doctor who examines them. They are the first cases of an epidemic of blindness. A magnificent parable of loss and disorientation, a vivid evocation of the horrors of the twentieth century, and a terrifying allegory of the dark times of the new millennium, Blindness masterfully portrays man's worst appetites and weaknesses and man's ultimately exhilarating spirit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simplemente NOTABLE!!!, November 3, 2010
This review is from: Ensayo sobre la ceguera / Blindness (MTI) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Por qué nos hemos quedado ciegos, No lo sé, quizá un día lleguemos a saber la razón, Quieres que te diga lo que estoy pensando, Dime, Creo que no nos quedamos ciegos, creo que estamos ciegos, Ciegos que ven, Ciegos que, viendo, no ven.
José Saramago - "Ensayo Sobre la Ceguera"
Obra monumental de José Saramago. Una ficcion con tanto de realidad y una critica tan solida a las miserias humanas que en definitiva conmueve. Demasiado sórdida, triste, descarnada, durísima, crítica. Las miserias humanas exhaltadas hasta la abyección.
Unicamente en desacuerdo con quienes ven un final "esperanzador" en esta genial obra. El final para mi simplemente es del tipo: "de acuerdo: estos personajes ya sufrieron demasiado, ahora hay que regresarlos a la vida anterior. ¡¡Pero ojo lectores!! ¡¡La miseria humana sigue ahi!! Seguimos estando ciegos... seguimos dejando que la podredumbre reine. Simplemente se están tapando los ojos para no ver"
Una OBRA MAESTRA sin dudas!!
Saludos, Renzo

5.0 out of 5 stars ¡Excelente libro!, January 26, 2012
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Para quienes nunca ha leído a Don José Saramago, recomiendo que comiencen por este y luego echen mano de "Ensayo Sobre la Lucidez". El escritor nos atrapa con los diálogos de sus personajes, la crudeza de las situaciones que éstos viven y al final, nos muestra una vez más que pese a todo, el ser humano puede tener cosas buenas.

Por otro lado, es una lástima que la película inspirada en este librazo haya tenido tan poca publicidad (al menos en Venezuela).

Recomendado 100%, no se arrepentirán.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ensayo Sobre la Ceguera, September 14, 2011
Vuelvo y repito: José Saramago es un genio. Ensayo Sobre La Ceguera fue la segunda novela que leí de él y me encantó. La manera de pensar de los personajes, las situaciones y la crueldad que llevamos dentro y que no estamos dispuestos a aceptar. Un genio.
