Khūb Misl-i murdah'hā: Persian 1401

Jose Saramago recreates a horrible nightmare in his novel. An advanced urban society with all facilities suddenly reverts to barbarism and the whole structure of collective life goes into decline. The strings of affection and commitment break apart and disappear one by one. Scrutinizing the style and structure of writing, removing punctuation marks, and mismatching tenses make the reader think about the nuances of meaning at every moment. The result is a deep, thought-provoking novel and a book that has not been seen in recent years. A profound and moving novel, but at the same time it seems fictional, it is a horrifying picture of reality.
