The Cave

In Stewart's obituary, The New York Times described her as an "author of romantic thrillers who jumped genres in her 50s to create an internationally best-selling trilogy of Merlin books, reimagining the Arthurian legend from a sorcerer's point of view," and said, "Reading Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain, she was inspired to retell the story of King Arthur as seen by Merlin, the king's adviser and house magician. The trilogy introduced her work to a new generation and, in many cases, to male readers for the first time. ... The books, set in the fifth century, were praised for their unusual blend of fantasy and historical detail." [4] While The Cave is a wonderful allegory exploring Plato’s philosophy and the nature of language, it is not best suited as an introduction to Saramago. This book is best viewed as another glowing intersection for the themes that characterize Saramago’s fantastic oeuvre and would fall short without interpreting it through its interplay with his other novels. The book is creeps forward at a very leisurely pace, content to build its themes in authorial asides and intense investigations of mundane actions, which made it easy to set aside whereas other Saramago novels were impossible for me to put down once I'd been hooked. The Cave is a novel about exploring language and Form, not plot, and if you are patient there is an immense wealth of ideas to ponder and mull over that more than justify the effort. It is not a weak novel, but one simply best suited for those that already hold the wise Saramago as dear in their hearts. Of all his novels, this one shines as the most endearing as the way he presents the Algor family can be best described as a tender caress of words. Moving and heartfelt, yet slow and ponderous, Saramago brilliantly examines the way we trade the authentic for cheap imitation and begs us to not to be bound to the floor of a cave by consumerism and a willful submission to authority, but to be daring enough to step out from the cave and great the bright sun of our existence with open arms, an open mind, and goodwill towards all of mankind. Galapas, a local mage who teaches Merlin much natural lore and some magic, and who bequeathes to him the crystal cave.

It takes time to sweep in and collect what is said with what is unsaid. How so much unsaid in fact goes into making the words that are said. And how much of the unsaid is communicated very effectively indeed through what is said. Delicacy demands a sort of spiritual stance:

The following is a list of supplementary scholarly literature on the allegory of the cave that includes articles from epistemological, political, alternative, and independent viewpoints on the allegory:Plato seems to believe that all levels of intellect are somehow connected, not disparate; the person who achieves Dialectic has already subsumed the other levels in his progress. For example, the prisoner whom we help ascend from the Cave originally imagines that the shadows on the wall are "real things"; when he is permitted to perceive walkway, fire, people, and objects carried, he perceives the shadows as shadows of real things. He has learned something "new," but it is a learning predicated upon a previous assumption. Novelist James Reich argues Nicholas Ray's film Rebel Without a Cause, starring James Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo as John "Plato" Crawford is influenced by and enacts aspects of the allegory of the cave. [23] The most important among nations of the last century, he in his sixties then came to prominence with the publication of Baltasar and Blimunda. A huge body of work followed, translated into more than forty languages. Cuando leí El amor en los tiempos del cólera, de Gabriel García Márquez, hubo algo que me dejó muy pensativo: En aquellos tiempos del siglo XIX, aquí en Colombia se creía que el trabajo del futuro sería ser telégrafo. Un oficio que en su tiempo debió ser especial, pero que el paso del tiempo lo volvió obsoleto. Debe ser bastante triste que dediques toda tu vida a un trabajo, a una profesión, y que cuando estés viejo notes que lo que tú haces, en lo que gastaste tanto tiempo de tu vida, ya no le interesa a nadie: Esa es la nostalgia que tiene en el fondo de su corazón Cipriano, esa es la nostalgia que sentí en todo momento. Es duro aceptar la realidad.

This quote will note Saramago's particular style, using only commas, punctuation points, and capital letters to introduce dialogue exchanges.Considero que este libro vale la pena leer porque José Saramago presenta una madurez emocional, y una sabiduría muy profunda, que podría ayudarnos a crecer como seres humanos. Dicen que la experiencia es sabia, y José Saramago es un ejemplo de ello. Realmente he quedado muy antojado de leer más de sus obras, y por lo tanto mi próximo destino será sin ninguna duda su aclamado Ensayo sobre la ceguera, debo leerlo sí, o sí.
