Description

The audiobook includes Herbert Wells’s stories “The Country of the Blind,” “The Catastrophe,” “Forest Treasures,” and “The New Accelerator.”

"The Country of the Blind"
What would happen to a person in a world where they don’t even know that sight exists?
What would happen to a person who has a certain special sense, the existence of which others doubt? — they doubt it, but at the same time they are very afraid that such a sense really exists in nature and gives an advantage to its owner...
A beautifully written parable about misunderstanding, about “one-mindedness,” about the problems of a personality who is “not like everyone else.”

"The Catastrophe"
The owner of a manufacturing shop’s major financial troubles are followed by a great grief for his family, leading to a solution for these troubles.

"Treasure in the Forest"
“A Chinese man’s life is by no means as sacred as a European’s life.” Especially when it comes to treasures. But the buried treasure knows how to protect itself.

"The New Accelerator"
A report on the testing of a drug that accelerates a person.
