This is the 2018 Turkish edition of Blindness (Körlük), published by Kırmızı Kedi Yayınları. The novel is written by José Saramago, one of the most important contemporary authors in world literature, known for his allegorical and philosophical storytelling style.

Blindness begins with a sudden and unexplained epidemic of blindness that spreads rapidly through an unnamed city. As society collapses, those affected are isolated in quarantine, where order quickly breaks down and chaos emerges. The novel follows a group of characters struggling to survive in increasingly brutal and desperate conditions. Through this powerful scenario, Saramago explores themes such as human nature, morality, social collapse, solidarity, and the fragility of civilization.

José Saramago was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1998. His works often use allegory and surreal situations to examine political, ethical, and philosophical questions about society and humanity.
