José de Sousa Saramago (pronounced [ʒuˈzɛ sɐɾɐˈmagu]) was a Nobel-laureate Portuguese novelist, playwright, and journalist. He was a member of the Portuguese Communist Party.
His works, some of which can be seen as allegories, commonly present subversive perspectives on historic events, emphasizing the human factor rather than the officially sanctioned story. Saramago was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1998. He founded the National Front for the Defense of Culture (Lisbon, 1992) with among others Freitas-Magalhaes. He lived on Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Spain, where he died in June 2010.
A foundation with his name was established in 2007; its main aims are cultural promotion, particularly of Portuguese literature and authors. The José Saramago Foundation is currently based in Casa dos Bicos, a Portuguese landmark building in Lisbon. Saramago's house in Lanzarote is also open to the public.
José Saramago, together with his wife Pilar, were the subject of the award-winning documentary José e Pilar, providing us with a glimpse into their love story and life, as he was writing his A Viagem do Elefante.

某次遇到困境,陷于惘然,不知为何老天要做这种安排。让我出现在这里,面对这一切,受这样的苦,而最后还要告诉我一切是meanless的。这个独特的判定让我几乎陷于无地自容的处境。 以前受过同样的苦,但幸运的是,我觉得一切都有意义--当时的痛苦是今日的欢乐,今日的欢乐是日...
评分网上说,萨拉马戈的《失明症漫记》很容易让人联想到加缪的《鼠疫》。我对《鼠疫》印象不深,反而联想到几本跟“失去”有关的书,如莫迪亚诺的《暗铺街》中失忆的人,安部公房的《砂之女》和《燃烧的地图》中失踪的人,卡夫卡的《变形记》中失形的人,还有各种失恋,失败,失眠...
评分在sars闹得最凶的时候,很多人在推荐几本与传染病有关的书,包括《鼠疫》、《霍乱时期的爱情》以及这本,但我想把这本书摆在这个位置是不合适的,它并没有描写健康的人所面临的那种彼此猜疑,也没有太多描写健康的人与染病的人之间的扶持和恐惧。这本书更多的把笔墨放在了...
评分在萨拉马戈那里,黑暗被取消了两种基本特征,一来它没有由光明渐渐衰弱的过渡阶段,二来在人类的惯常的感知中,它的物理形态反而被强烈的白色所替换,所以在《失明症漫记》中,失明没有博尔赫斯那样的如黄昏徐徐降临的诗意,也没有对黑暗的传统恐惧,但是对于光明的强烈向往却...

Winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature. A city is hit by an epidemic of 'white blindness.' The blindness spreads, sparing no one. Authorities confine the blind to a vacant mental hospital secured by armed guards. Inside, the criminal element among the blind hold the rest captive: food rations are stolen, women are raped. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven strangers through the barren streets. The developments within this oddly anonymous group -- the first blind man, the old man with the black eye patch, the girl with dark glasses, the boy with no mother, and the dog of tears -- are as uncanny as the surrounding chaos is harrowing. PA parable of loss and disorientation, of man's worst appetites and hopeless weaknesses, Blindness is one of the most challenging, thought-provoking, and ultimately exhilarating novels published in any language in recent years.
喜欢手表和雨的隐喻。前者是对时间或整个外界的感知与掌控,而这控制力来源于坚韧的内心—往往经过伤痛经验的锻造。医生妻子手表停了,后来又根据黑眼罩老人的表校准,预示着她也必将经历创伤从而内心强大。后者带有浓重的宗教意味,获得自由的盲人们赤身裸体,在雨中清洗污垢,让人联想到受浸而得以重生。去印号的对话很新奇,语言像是摸着黑摇摇拐拐地冲向盲者的耳朵,失明的含义层次更加丰富。打四星是因为篇幅冗长了,中间冲突类似于竞技场求生的情节,少了把玩的乐趣。
评分无意中在爱尔兰人的节日买了这本书,拿着纸质书看,是很奢侈的一件事情。因为不是什么紧俏书,立刻借来有声书听。非常棒。立刻就被吸引。里面的主人公没有名字,却鲜丽明亮。对人性的描写很真实,一针见血。
评分绝望
评分在拯救的重担全部压在一个女人的身上时,在亲眼目睹一切疯狂后,又要如何承受这生命无法承受之重?
评分not an easy one to read. had to get used to the style of writing. not sure I want to get into another Saramago anytime soon though...
