The country of the blind

The country of the blind

Our review

Although it's a short story, it's very impactful. It can be read in an afternoon, but it leaves ideas that stay with you longer. The best approach is to start without expectations and let yourself be surprised.

"In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king" is the starting point of this story. The protagonist can't imagine what he will find in a place where everyone lacks sight. A text that invites you to question essential aspects of life.

Synopsis

A mountaineer falls down a slope and arrives at a small, unknown village. In this place, all its inhabitants are blind due to a mysterious illness. He feels he has an advantage over them, although he will discover that the proverb is just that: a proverb.
