Abstract: An elderly potter and his family struggle to survive in a small village on the outskirts of The Center, a corporate enclave. But when they move into The Center, what they find beneath their apartment will change their lives.
Jose Saramago is one of the world's most acclaimed writers, having been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998.
The Cave is a story that reflects upon the domination of technology, the corporate structure, civilization and humanity. It looks at the future with critical eyes that forebodes the second coming.
Saramago draws through exquisitely formed prose, the vanity and greed of human society and the ignorance of civilization. He ingeniously weaves Plato's philosophies into a tale that will leave reader's stunned and in awe.
