A brief account of the restoration of vision

Ensaio sobre a Lucidez

📣 Regarding "The Sighted Man," Saramago said:
◆Human history is a continuous disaster, and we do not deserve life.
We must not forget, and we must recognize, the cruel side of human nature. We must defend the space for conscience and clarity. This is where our hope lies.
◆How can we think about injustice, suffering, and pain and not feel a moral obligation to change what we are thinking about?
◆We humans, especially intellectuals as citizens, have the obligation to open our eyes.
【Content Introduction】
In the capital, which has experienced blindness, a more brutal white plague is spreading.
On the day of the election, it rained heavily in the capital and the committee members were anxious.
The late voters cast their ballots in an unprecedented and unexpected result.
The government was shocked and investigated everywhere but found nothing.
Finally someone realized that all this might be because we have forgotten the suffering we once experienced.
In the eyes of the rulers, this is a new form of blindness.
It is just as devastating as the previous form of blindness.
They called it - vision loss.
【Editor's Recommendation】
◆A representative work by Nobel Prize winner Saramago.
◆The sequel to "Blindness" is even more brutal than the previous one.
◆As famous as "Nineteen Eighty-Four", a theme that has never been touched upon in literary history.
◆Nobel Prize citation: Saramago's fables, sustained by imagination, compassion and irony, continue to touch us.
◆Humans experience suffering repeatedly because we are good at forgetting.
◆Don't forget the lessons of forgetting, if you can shout, make a sound.
◆Reading Saramago is like seeing the world anew.
◆This novel reflects our times better than any other book I have ever read. --Science fiction writer Le Guin
