If in "Blindness" blindness was universal, if in "Enlightenment" enlightenment was generalized, in "Death" death operates intermittently in a small country of 10,000,000 inhabitants, bringing despair, after the initial euphoria, insurance companies, funeral contractors, nursing homes, hospitals, church, government, families. The mafia (with 2 f's as the author wants it) will take on solutions, but death will counterattack in the form of a mysterious and enchanting woman.

The most recent and highly human novel by the great Nobel laureate author.
