Book Description
Excerpt from Blind: A Story of These Times Late on a warm cloudy night in April, 1919, upon a hill in Connecticut a few miles inland from the Sound, a large capacious spreading old house of brick and frame loomed like a great squat shadow there. Upstairs were many people asleep. Below there was not a light nor a sound - except in one room, where in the darkness the click of a typewriter was heard.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Country of the Blind, and Other Stories It is now quite unusual to see any adequate criticism of short stories in English. I do not know how far the decline in short-story writing may not be due to that. Every sort of artist demands human responses, and few men can contrive to write merely-for a publisher's cheque and silence, however reassuring that cheque may be. A mad millionaire who commissioned masterpieces to burn would find it impossible to buy them. Scarcely any artist will hesitate in the choice betweenmoney and attention; and it was primarily for that last and better sort of pay that the short stories of the 'nineties were written. People talked about them tremendously, compared them, and ranked them. That was the thing that mattered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
The Country of the Blind, and Other Stories by H. G. Wells As I sit writing in my study, I can hear our Jane bumping her way downstairs with a brush and dust-pan. She used in the old days to sing hymn tunes, or the British national song for the time being, to these instruments, but latterly she has been silent and even careful over her work. Time was when I prayed with fervour for such silence, and my wife with sighs for such care, but now they have come we are not so glad as we might have anticipated we should be. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Book Description
Excerpt from Charley and the Blind Man: And Other Stories Famous friends were these two, the boy and his dog. Many were the rambles they had together through the woods and over the meadows, and by the little river and away down to the village. Charley's brother and sister were much older than himself, and thus it happened that Carlo became his almost constant com panion and he had formed a habit of talk ing to him, as if he understood much more of the English language than dogs are generally supposed to be able to do. Carlo could not answer Charley in so many words, but he looked up very knowingly into his face, as much as to say, Ay', ayl I am glad to hear you say so. We will go indeed, and a capital time we will have, too and then he barked and jumped more extravagantly.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Light Which Cannot Fail: True Stories of Heroic Blind Men and Women and a Handbook for the Blind and Their Friends I believe that those who read and laugh and cry over these heroes and tragic comedians, poets, and seers Whom I have sketched as truthfully as I could, Will become interested in their struggle and enlist among their friends and helpers. If so I shall not have written in vain, even if they understand only that it is not charity, but justice which the blind need. Of these stories Christine, Clair, Cesare and Lucia and Leone have had the honor Of being read in Italian and approved by her Majesty Queen Eleanor. In Francois and Angelo a veil of mysticism has been permitted, but the other stories are literal. Hundreds Of men and women over the world have begged the author to aid them to help the blind. Hundreds of letters have been written to her asking how best to be Of service to them. The tragic com pany of men blinded in battle aroused public interest in the problems of the sightless. A blind hero Of the war said to the writer, The war has done a great deal of good to the cause Of the blind. That is true. Vigorous, active men, suddenly halted before the wall of blindness, have brought home to the seeing a new realization of the needs of all who 'have lost their sight.
