Content description
An anthology of stories by H. G. Wells, translated and with a prologue by Alfonso Hernández Catá. Headed by «The Country of the Blind» —the famous parable of the sighted man lost in a valley of the blind—, it gathers other tales by the author, such as «A Dream of Armageddon». The prologue assesses Wells's literary significance beyond his fame as a scientific fabulist.
