Despite the heavy rain, the presiding officer at Polling Station 14 finds it odd that by midday on National Election day, only a handful of voters have turned out. Puzzlement swiftly escalates to shock when eventually, after an extension, the final count reveals seventy per cent of the votes are blank - not spoiled, simply blank. National law decrees the election should be repeated eight days later. The result is worse; eighty-three per cent of the votes are blank. The incumbent government receives eight per cent and the opposition even less. The authorities, seized with panic, decamp from the capital and place it under a state of emergency. Who are the insurgents? Why the desire to destabilise the country? The authorities leap from one possibility to the next, but achieve nothing. The lack of hostility exacerbates things, since how can justice be meted out when not a single law has been broken? To all intents and purposes the administration is blind. Similarities to the plague of blindness that struck the city four years ago become apparent. In his new novel, Jose Saramago has deftly created the politician's ultimate nightmare: disillusionment not with one party, but with all, thereby rendering the entire democratic system useless. "Seeing" explores how simply this could be achieved and how devastating the results might be.
Jose Saramago was born in Portugal in 1922 and has been a full-time writer since 1979. His oeuvre embraces plays, poetry, short stories, non-fiction and ten novels, which have been translated into more than forty languages and have established him as the most influential Portuguese writer of his generation. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998.

本来以为一上来就会是前作的后续,继续讲述“医生的妻子”失明后的故事,然而事实证明得了诺奖的作者怎么可能如此小儿科;读到快一半时,我认定这将是部与前作无关的故事,然而之前熟悉的人物转了个弯,猝不及防地登场了,佩服作者的构思。比起前一本《失明症漫记》,即使描述...

评分一部zhengzhi味道很强的长篇小说,作者诺贝尔文学奖获得者????根据大家的评论和评分来看这本书貌似是有很深意味和见解的,无奈我的修行不够,目前还无法好好欣赏。 首先要承认这是某种程度上的奇书,原书只有两种标点,人物也没有名字;几乎不分段如便秘一般的大块大块文字,对...
评分——需要就是法律 ——《复明症漫记》是民主制度下的《一九八四》 《一九八四》是专制制度下的《复明症漫记》 这是一部可以带给人思考的的政治寓言。对于白票运动一直举手无措的政府,说着一个又一个谎言来安抚大众,直到那封举报信的出现,让政府似乎找到了替罪羊——四年前...
评分作为《失明症漫记》的姊妹篇,在没有读《复明症漫记》之前,我太过于天真的认为两者会有故事上的延续性。由此导致的困惑也一直困扰了前半程的阅读。事实上,两者真的也只有一些情节上的少许交叉,如果想把这作为单独的两本,也并不是不可做到。 《复明症漫记》明显有着强烈的政...
