"Blindness" by Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago is a profound work of fiction first published in English in 1997. This specific edition, published by Mariner Books in 1999, is the First Harvest edition. The novel explores themes of isolation and societal breakdown through a gripping narrative where an unexplained epidemic of blindness strikes a city. Saramago's unique narrative style and philosophical depth make this a significant work in contemporary literature. This edition's scarcity is moderate, being a later edition but still sought after by collectors due to Saramago's literary prestige. The book is in paperback format with notable wear, particularly on the cover. A must-have for enthusiasts of thought-provoking literature.
