Infos

Three hundred miles and more from Chimborazo, one hundred from the snows of Cotopaxi, in the wildest wastes of Ecuador's Andes, there lies that mysterious mountain valley, cut off from all the world of men, the Country of the Blind. Long years ago that valley lay so far open to the world that men might come at last through frightful gorges and over an icy pass into its equable meadows, and thither indeed men came, a family or so of Peruvian half-breeds fleeing from the lust and tyranny of an evil Spanish ruler.

---

The story is about a man who visits a country inhabited only by blind people. The man, who is sighted, is initially treated as a god, but he soon realizes that the blind people are actually the ones with the power. The story is a commentary on society and its blindness to certain truths.
