"Over the mountains I come," said Nunez, "out of the country beyond there--where men can see. From near Bogota, where there are a hundred thousands of people, and where the city passes out of sight."
One of the acknowledged masters of speculative fiction, H.G. Wells conducts in this short story a disconcerting thought experiment. What would become of a community if its members were somehow deprived of sight? How would society evolve in the absence of the very concept of visibility? And what if, one day, a sighted outsider suddenly found himself in this country of the blind? Eris Gems make available in the form of beautifully produced saddle-stitched booklets a series of outstanding short works of fiction and non-fiction.Languages:EnglishPublisher:ErisISBN-13:9781912475810ISBN-10:1912475812UPC:9781912475810Book Category:FictionBook Subcategory:Short Stories (single author), Literary, Action & AdventureSize:7.50 x 4.20 x 0.70 inchesWeight:0.0992Product ID:SCDC563DX4
