H. G. Wells 
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’ acclaimed tale, a stranded mountaineer encounters an isolated society in which his apparent advantage proves less than valuable. This thought-provoking fable is accompanied by other short stories, 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, ", "The Queer Story of Brownlow’s Newspaper" and many more.
