Brief Overview
The novel «The Cave» by José Saramago tells the story of a humble potter, Cipriano Algor, and his family, who live in a world where a massive shopping complex, known as the Center, gradually consumes all aspects of life. Cipriano faces challenges when his pottery is no longer in demand, forcing him to seek new ways to survive. In the process, he discovers a hidden cave within the Center, which becomes a symbol of human isolation and alienation in modern society. The book explores themes of consumerism, alienation, and the search for meaning in a world where traditional values are losing their significance.
