Product description

Saramago, in his usual subtle style, has crafted a novel, The Cave, about the changes in our lives brought about by the giant shopping malls and housing estates that are spreading in cities. Pitting a 'Center', a symbol of the consumerism and sterile living spaces that are the rising trends of today's world, against an old potter, a symbol of a simple, traditional but productive life full of genuine emotions, the great master Saramago turns a simple situation into a fascinating philosophical allegory: His warm fairy-tale narrative and sympathetic characters show that the projects of life, presented as wonderlands by gigantic advertising campaigns, are no more than the Platonic cave of the human soul.

As with Proust, to be drawn into one of Saramago's sentences is to be drawn into a world that takes the form of a roundabout.

The New York Times Book Review A thrilling, superbly written, utterly fascinating, old-fashionedly romantic, at times stunning look at ordinary people struggling to survive.
