A stunningly powerful novel of humanity's will to survive against all odds during an epidemic by a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
An International Bestseller ? "This is a shattering work by a literary master." -- Boston Globe
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 strangers -- among them a boy with no mother, a girl with dark glasses, a dog of tears -- through the barren streets, and the procession becomes as uncanny as the surroundings are harrowing. A magnificent parable of loss and disorientation, Blindness has swept the reading public with its powerful portrayal of our worst appetites and weaknesses -- and humanity's ultimately exhilarating spirit.
"This is a an important book, one that is unafraid to face all of the horror of the century." -- Washington Post
