Cecita

by José Saramago

An unexplained epidemic suddenly blinds an entire population, leaving those affected surrounded by a milky cloud and unable to see. The resulting terror and violence erupt as the first blind individuals are confined in an abandoned asylum, exposing humanity's capacity for brutality and dehumanization. The narrative examines indifference, selfishness, power struggles, and the darkness of reason, offering a glimpse of hope amid the chaos.
