Washington. 1911., 1911, 3, New York. 1963. April 1963. Signet/New American Library. 1st Signet Classic Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. Afterword By Edmund Reiss. 334 pages. paperback. CD158. Cover: Lambert. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Hank Morgan, cracked on the head by a crowbar in nineteenth - century Connecticut, wakes to find himself in the England of King Arthur. The tough - minded Yankee, an embodiment of scientific enlightenment, faces a world whose idyllic surface only masks the dark forces of fear, injustice, and ignorance. This is the springboard which launches one of literature's most extraordinary excursions into fantasy. With the agility of Mark Twain's unique virtuosity, this acrobatic tour de force moves from broad comedy to biting social satire, and from the pure joy of wild high jinks to deeply probing insights into the nature of man, whose capacity for progress is matched only by his capacity for destruction. The reader is shaken by laughter - and something more than laughter - as he falls under the book's enchantment and finds that the grim truths of Mark Twain's Camelot strike a resoundingly contemporary note. 'This story is something other and greater than a funny book. It is a work written with a high purpose, to convey what seemed to its author the most profound and elemental truths about human society.' - Stephen Leacock inventory #31366, 0, New York. 1948.

Translated from the Portuguese. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. "A city is hit by an epidemic of 'white blindness' which spares no one. Authorities confine the blind to an empty mental hospital, but there the criminal element holds everyone captive, stealing food rations and raping women. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven strangers--among them a boy with no mother, a girl with dark glasses, a dog of tears--through the barren streets, and the procession becomes as uncanny as the surroundings are harrowing. A magnificent parable of loss and disorientation and a vivid evocation of the horrors of the twentieth century, Blindness has swept the reading public with its powerful portrayal of man's worst appetites and weaknesses--and man's ultimately exhilarating spirit. The stunningly powerful novel of man's will to survive against all odds, by the winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature." - Publisher.. Paperback.
