In the Country of the Blind, the one-eyed man believes he will be king.
Lost beyond the Ecuadorian Andes, mountaineer Nuñez discovers a hidden valley whose people have lived without sight for generations. Certain that vision makes him superior, he tries to rule them—only to find that an entire society may define reality differently. H. G. Wells turns an unforgettable adventure into a sharp philosophical fable about perception, power, and belonging.
