About this audiobook
In this collection of visionary tales, a stranded mountaineer stumbles upon a secluded valley where sight is a myth and vision is considered a madness. Forced to navigate a society that operates in total darkness, he must decide whether to embrace their reality or fight for his own perception of the truth. It is a haunting exploration of adaptability, arrogance, and the terrifying nature of isolation.
