Book Description

January 31, 2001
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 terrifying allegory of the dark times that we are living as we aproach at the new millennium.

Blurb in Spanish:
Una ceguera blanca se expande de manera fulminante. Internados en cuarentena o perdidos por la ciudad, los ciegos deben enfrentarse a lo más primitivo de la especie humana: la voluntad de sobrevivir a cualquier precio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un clasico contemporaneo, September 30, 2002
By 
Luz Alfonsina Figuereo (Elmhurst, New York USA) - See all my reviews
Ensayo sobre la ceguera fue la primera novela de Saramago que lei. El hombre es un genio. Facilmente te envuelve en el texto hasta hundirte en el mundo de la historia. Oracion tras tras parrafo tras capitulo -- Saramago es uno de los pocos escritos aun comprometidos con el arte de la literatura. Como estudiante de literatura contemporanea hispana, recomiendo esta novela como una verdadera obra maestra. Es una delicia de lectura.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nuestra Realidad, August 8, 2004
Este es un libro como pocos. Excelente es una palabra que se queda corta a la hora de describir esta creacion de Jose Saramago. Este libro nos demuestra o mejor dicho nos recuerda la realidad en la que estamos viviendo actualmente, no solo en latino america sino en todo el mundo: la enfermedad infeciosa de la ceguera blanca, nos hemos cegado ante las injusticias sociales, las cosas que antes apestaban, por asi decirlo, ya no apestan ante lo comun de estas, pero hay esperanza, como nos hace ver Saramago al final de esta obra: podemos recobrar la vista, y la cura de esta ceguera esta en cada uno de nosotros, en nuestra actitud hacia los problemas que nos rodean.
