Wow! Another great, deep-thought provoking book by Saramago. I will say that I think that it is not necessary for one to have read Platos 'The Republic' to 'get' the meanings behind this book. I find it hard to believe that it was written in 2000 as it seems in so many ways so current - but likewise, I find it mind blowing that Platos 'The Republic' was written approximately 350 BCE but yet seems to accurately define what was, what is, perhaps what will be as for systems of government which, of course, are made up of individuals. But I digress.
Saramagos 'The Cave' is not one of the books that I felt fevered to stay up 'all hours' reading; however, I always looked forward to have opportunity to again pick up and continue every chance. For me, this book is unlike Saramagos 'Blindness'.
Enjoyable read which seems quite laid back but delivers unto us a chance to learn much about pottery, nuclear families, and a behind the scenes look at ways the capitalist governments rule over much of our lives whether we are aware of this or not.
