Tutti I Nomi by José Saramago
In a world where bureaucracy reigns supreme, a solitary clerk at the Central Registry becomes obsessed with uncovering the identity of a woman whose name appears in the records. His mundane existence is transformed into a thrilling quest as he navigates the labyrinthine corridors of the Registry, confronting the dehumanizing effects of an impersonal system. Through his journey, he challenges the boundaries between anonymity and identity, exploring themes of isolation, the search for meaning, and the power of human connection in a society that often overlooks the individual.
