Cipriano Algor, an elderly potter, lives with his daughter
Marta and her husband Marcal in a small village on the outskirts of
The Center, an imposing complex of shops, apartments, and offices
to which Cipriano delivers his pots and jugs every month. On one
such trip, he is told not to make any more deliveries. Unwilling to
give up his craft, Cipriano tries his hand at making ceramic dolls.
Astonishingly, The Center places an order for hundreds, and
Cipriano and Marta set to work-until the order is cancelled and the
three have to move from the village into The Center. When
mysterious sounds of digging emerge from beneath their apartment,
Cipriano and Marcal investigate, and what they find transforms the
family's life. Filled with the depth, humor, and the extraordinary
philosophical richness that marks each of Saramago's novels, The
Cave is one of the essential books of our time.
