Ensayo sobre la ceguera (Narrativa Extranjera)

The stunningly powerful novel of man's will to survive against all odds, by the winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature. A city is hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" which spares no one. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven strangers 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 is a powerful portrayal of man's worst appetites and weaknesses, and his ultimately triumphant spirit.
