Lepiej nie wi(e)dzieć, czyli Miasto Bez Imienia José Saramago i jego apokaliptyczna wizja ludzkości
Better Not to See, that is a City without a Name of José Saramago and His Apocalyptic Vision of Humanity

Summary/Abstract: “Blindness” is a novel by the Portuguese writer Jose Saramago, the laureate of the Nobel prize (1998). The book portrays an apocalyptic vision of the world in which people have lost their sight. In Saramago’s novel, the sole author of the history of mankind is Blind Fate. God does not deserve any attention, and even if He exists, He is the One guilty of all evil. Such ideas of the writer can be described as a sad kind of “atheistic humanism”. In case of this kind of pagan literature, one should even more be a witness of faith and Christian love. Reading „Blindness” is not a waste of time; it invites to a true prayer for the world which is blind to God’s presence. Instead of aggression, a Christian should cry out for God’s mercy, because only then, there is hope of conversion for apostates and blasphemers.
