The Blind Musician

"The Blind Musician" is a touching study of human happiness and the need to fight for it.

In this novella, the great master Vladimir Korolenko describes with extraordinary tenderness the tragedy of a blind baby being born into a wealthy family—Peter. The true love of his loved ones helped him avoid excessive overcare, allowed him to become independent, and helped him achieve himself as a person and a genius. Growing up, learning the world, and understanding his deprivations and suffering, Peter comes to realize that his blindness is far from the worst thing that could happen to a person.
