Ensayo sobre la lucidez
Saramago, José
During the municipal elections of an unnamed city, the majority of its inhabitants spontaneously decide to exercise their right to vote in an unexpected way. The government fears that this revolutionary gesture -capable of undermining the foundations of a democracy that may not be what it claims to be- will lead to its downfall, which is why it presents it as the product of an international anarchist conspiracy or unknown extremist groups. The sewers of power are turned on: the guilty have to be eliminated. And if they are not found, they invent. The protagonists of Essay on Lucidity, a police inspector and the woman who preserved her sight in the epidemic of white blindness in Essay on Blindness, show the moral height that anonymous citizens can reach when they decide to exercise freedom.
