The Country of the Blind

Bilge Ince

In the Country of the Blind, the One-Eyed Man is King
Is it?
This is a short story of H.G. Wells and a good one to start with his books. A man called Nuñez comes from Bogata discovers a country that belongs to blind people. Nuñez reminds himself of the expression and expects to be the king of this country. But It is easier to break an atom than a prejudice, as Einstein said once. And Nuñez must, first of all, get these people to believe there is such thing as seeing and such people who can see.
