The Country of the Blind, and Other Stories

"In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." Or is he? In H. G. Wells' famous tale a stranded mountaineer encounters an isolated society in which his apparent advantage proves less than valuable. There are over thirty H. G. Wells short stories in this collection, including The Star, a gripping tale about a massive celestial object hurtling toward the Earth, as well as The New Accelerator, The Remarkable Case of Davidson's Eyes, Under the Knife and The Queer Story of Brownlow's Newspaper.
