The Country of the Blind, and Other Stories
By H. G. Wells
Length17h 22m
About this audiobook
In a valley where vision has been forgotten for generations, an explorer discovers that being the only one who can see makes him an outcast rather than a king. His struggle to prove the existence of light becomes a desperate fight for survival against a society that views his "sight" as a dangerous delusion. It is a haunting meditation on the power of consensus and the isolation of truth.
