Psicología de las masas, adhesión de grupo, instinto de supervivencia y párrafos que por momentos me dan la idea de que Saramago describe al ser humano mientras este hace introspección en sí mismo.

Ahora necesito leer "Ensayo sobre la lucidez". A ver que tal.

Questo libro parte da un'idea assurda e oltretutto abbastanza deprimente e da qui riesce a sviluppare una trama avvicente, interessante, emozionante e non banale, che non lesina sprazzi di ottimismo e lampi di intelligenza. Penso che da sola questa sia una ragione più che sufficiente per non perdersi la lettura di questo libro, che ritengo uno dei migliori che abbia mai letto.

Audio. Society wiped out by pandemic of blindness. People go feral. Book focuses on a certain set of early victims and their survival or degeneration. A bit harsh with some horrific outcomes. This book certainly made me ponder the ramifications and possibilities of massive blindness. I would hope that society would fare better. At least some of the characters have redemptive results.
