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.
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.

一 “肉眼上的失明,代之以靈性的視域,足以補償”。 受荷馬、彌爾頓和博爾赫斯的乾擾,人們往往把失明看作是另一種光明的開啓,與一種超自然的力量拉上關係。富有諷刺意味的是,《失明癥漫記》中,當整個城市都失明瞭,社會沒有開啓我們期盼的“另一種光明”。社會秩序迅速垮...
評分葡萄牙人薩拉戈薩是諾貝爾奬獲得者。 他以擔憂人世齣名,擔心人性的拙劣或脆弱經不得世事考驗,人類最終因此毀滅,這種擔憂培育瞭《失明癥漫記》。 場景在假想的背景色下展開,某種怪病迅速傳染整座城市,受染者很快雙目失明,傳染途徑不詳。猝不及防的人類在危機...
評分某次遇到睏境,陷於惘然,不知為何老天要做這種安排。讓我齣現在這裏,麵對這一切,受這樣的苦,而最後還要告訴我一切是meanless的。這個獨特的判定讓我幾乎陷於無地自容的處境。 以前受過同樣的苦,但幸運的是,我覺得一切都有意義--當時的痛苦是今日的歡樂,今日的歡樂是日...
評分在薩拉馬戈那裏,黑暗被取消瞭兩種基本特徵,一來它沒有由光明漸漸衰弱的過渡階段,二來在人類的慣常的感知中,它的物理形態反而被強烈的白色所替換,所以在《失明癥漫記》中,失明沒有博爾赫斯那樣的如黃昏徐徐降臨的詩意,也沒有對黑暗的傳統恐懼,但是對於光明的強烈嚮往卻...

大規模災難麵前文明的崩潰和人性對特定生理機能的依賴…失去視力的人在沒有係統性協助的情況下根本無法自理生活!所謂尊嚴就是這麼脆弱。作者整篇沒給一個角色名字也是太個性!
評分在拯救的重擔全部壓在一個女人的身上時,在親眼目睹一切瘋狂後,又要如何承受這生命無法承受之重?
評分大規模災難麵前文明的崩潰和人性對特定生理機能的依賴…失去視力的人在沒有係統性協助的情況下根本無法自理生活!所謂尊嚴就是這麼脆弱。作者整篇沒給一個角色名字也是太個性!
評分#道長薦書#道長快把這本書的後續吐齣來啊!彆鴿瞭!設想很有趣,承載文明的基礎,是不是能看到不文明的眼睛?隔離的那一段,竟然令人心驚的復刻瞭很多此次疫情之下的現實,仿佛作者的思想實驗,超越瞭時空,剝離瞭錶麵文明下的人性。醫生的妻子扮演著“救世主”,到底是憐憫,責任,慈善,還是微妙的處於人上的利他的優越感?Interesting
評分在一個幾乎可以說是與世隔絕的地方做義工時讀完。整本書沒有一個名字,最立體的角色都是女性。結尾絕瞭。整本書的高潮應該是教堂裏濛著白布那裏,薩拉馬戈真·文學大師。
