My favorite book

Hi everyone, today I´m going to talk about my favorite book.

My favorite book it´s Blindness by José Saramago, a portuguese author who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998. It was one of the few books that make me read at school that I finish and I read with enthusiasm, I think that José Saramago know how keep you reading to know what will come next, so I really recomend to my classmates to read this book because you will not regret.

I love this book because relate the story of a doctor and a group of people that get infected by "the white sickness", a worldwide phenomenon that make people lose their sight -I mean get Blindness.

This event make the authorities take matters into their hands, so they decided make groups of sickness people to different centers, so they have to learn to live together under very bad conditions.

Well, in the center, the author mix a lot of different people, with very different personalities and from different social classes, so the tolerance and the insctinct are the principal resourses to still alive.

In the curse of the story, we can see how the group -and the society in general- start to tire and lose their humanity, show the worst part of us and how with a simple alteration from one factor, we surrender to the tragedy, being incapables to look for a alternative, as help each other.
