Con las dos novelas anteriores Ensayo sobre la ceguera y Todos los nombres, este nuevo libro de José Saramago, forma un tríptico en que el autor deja escrita su visión del mundo actual.

Una pequeña alfarería, un centro comercial gigantesco. Un mundo en rápido proceso de extinción, otro que crece y se multiplica como un juego de espejos donde no parece haber límites para la ilusión engañosa. Todos los días se extinguen especies animales y vegetales, todos los días hay profesiones que se tornan inútiles, idiomas que dejan de tener personas que los hablen, tradiciones que pierden sentido, sentimientos que se convierten en sus contrarios.

Una familia de alfareros comprende que ha dejado de serle necesaria al mundo. Como una serpiente que muda de piel para poder crecer en otra que más adelante también se volverá pequeña, el centro comercial dice a la alfarería: «Muere, ya no necesito de ti».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A small, family-owned pottery shop struggles to survive against the magnetic pull of a monstrous shopping center, aware that it no longer has a place in today's society. In a world that becomes extinct as another one thrives, this story is a striking parable of the time we live in and the true meaning of change. It should also be heeded as a warning of all we allow to be wiped out of our lives.

Recomiendo la lectura de La caverna de José Saramago, para reflexionar sobre cómo se afectan las sociedades con las nuevas realidades que estamos viviendo, así como el plástico sustituyó a la alfarería, la tecnología sustituirá al ser humano, inclusive en su pensamiento con la inteligencia artificial, pasando la mayoría a ser olvidados, tal vez hasta desechados, por lo que es momento de reflexión sobre lo que haremos y que decisiones tomaremos para nuestro futuro.

Although not among Saramago's best novels, La Caverna has a very original setting and plot. At the end it turns very poetical, which compensates for the lack of lyricism in the rest of the novel.

Well written. This book is well written. Keeps you with your eyes open. A lot of thinking has to be done in every part of this books since the undertone,overtone, or background is not easy to grasp. Although, once you finish it you can have great reflections in regards to the present.

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2023

La versión Kindle de este libro es todo un dolor de cabeza, tiene serios problemas de ortografía donde no se usa el punto y se usan las mayúsculas sin razón aparente. Además de esto, no hay separación entre los párrafos, es como si leyeras un párrafo único hasta que entras a un nuevo capítulo. Es totalmente estresante leer algo con tan baja calidad de redacción, no sé si el original es así, pero mientras tanto yo no puedo leer algo de esta manera. Espero me den mi reembolso porque no es justo pagar este dinero por algo ilegible.
