具体描述
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.

读后感
谁能想到，萨拉马戈摧毁了他在《失明症漫记》中给予我们的乐观？但读者早就该想到，有人，就有希望；只有政治没有人，就没有希望。《复明症漫记》中，人被杀了，被政治杀了。“发号施令的人不仅不会在荒唐面前止步，还会进一步利用它来麻痹人们的良知，摧毁人们的理智。”一个...
评分 评分有个读过《失明症漫记》的朋友曾问我《复明症漫记》写的是个什么故事。我当时没能给出完整答案，只说写的是一次选举，首都选民投出的百分之七十以上的选票都是空白票……后面这六个无辜又委屈的小黑点代表的是将近一半的小说篇幅。而当我读完最后一页，把书缓缓合上了以后...
评分作为«失明症漫记»的续篇，«复明症漫记»展现了另一个荒诞而恐怖的故事，在政客的眼中，宪法赋予民众空白选票的权力等于阴谋，等于对政权的颠覆，民主的内容只能由政客们来解释，而人民实际的民主权力取决于政客们的定义。萨拉马戈再一次以幽默犀利的笔调，对政府的...
评分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...
