Körlük

Those who are interested in dystopian works never put down __t4__ __t5__, which has been making a name for itself since the day it was published. the work that won the portuguese writer josé saramago the nobel prize in literature in 1998, attracts attention not only with its subject but also with its cleverly constructed characters. the novel, written in a critical manner to the liberal democracy understanding of the period, revolves around a metaphor of blindness as people become increasingly selfish and insensitive to events. __t6__

From beginning to end, this gripping work will leave you profoundly shaken as one thrilling event follows another. with its portrayal of the brutality engendered by power struggles, this novel will prompt you to reconsider contemporary societies. who knows? perhaps it's humanity itself, increasingly desensitized, that will bring about the end of humankind.

A new order born from the chaos of blindness...

The events take place in an unnamed city in an unnamed country. because it doesn't matter who the people are. one day, a nameless man, standing in the lights with his car, suddenly goes blind while waiting for the green light to turn on. but this is not an ordinary blindness. because his eyes are not covered in darkness, but in light, that is, white. the man, confused about what to do, goes directly to the hospital. unfortunately, blindness is contagious. the doctor who examines him also gets his share of it. suddenly, this disease begins to affect the whole city. the government quarantines the people who are going blind in a place that is worse than a prison. __t10__

Things change after here. because the government cannot control the disease. the number of blind people, which increases every day, increases the population in quarantine. this will cause a change in power balances. gangs begin to form in the quarantine area. these gangs, which extort tribute from everyone, kill and rape people. the one who closely monitors all this is the doctor's wife. this woman is the only one who does not get the blindness disease. in order not to leave her husband alone, she imitated the blind and entered the prison and witnesses all the brutality here. __t11__

One day, a fire in the prison allows people to escape the quarantine zone. now, there's no one left in the country who's blind to the situation. they need to create a new order and find a way to adapt to it. so, how do they do it? __t12__
