内容简介
A city is hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" that spares
no one. Authorities confine the first to go blind to an empty
mental hospital, but there the criminal element holds everyone
captive, stealing food rations and assault-ing women. There is one
eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven strangers through the
barren streets to freedom--a procession as uncanny as the
surroundings are harrowing.
Blindness is an unsettling portrait of man's inhumanity to
man-and of humankind's resilient spirit.
