« Je pense que nous ne sommes pas devenus aveugles, je pense que nous étions aveugles, Des aveugles qui voient, Des aveugles qui, voyant, ne voient pas. »
👏👏👏 tout dit
Pour José (de ce que j’ai interprété du livre):
-La peur nous rend aveugle et, dans des cas extrêmes, mène à la déchéance humaine, jusqu’à être réduit à un état animal.
-Aimer et aider son prochain, c’est être humain.

That being said, this is my second book by him and his imagination amazes me. Truly makes you wonder about how fragile society can be in extreme situations like this, and how dependent we are of everyone, how connected we all are in one way or another. The story having a “good ending” doesn’t save the characters from all the hurdles they have yet to go through to return to a modern society.
Saramago is slowly becoming one of my favorites, you honestly get used to the dialogues and at times to me they flow way smoother than structured ones.
