The Country of the Blind and Other StoriesThe Country of the Blind is Wells's own selection of his best short stories. They range from light-hearted comic tales like "The Obliterated Man" to breath-taking masterpieces of science fiction like "The Star." In this, the first annotated edition, a new Introduction and Notes place Wells's stories in their historical, biographical, and literary contexts. The text presented here was revised by Wells, and for the first time corrected with reference to earlier and later versions of the stories. |
