Blindness eBook

Blindness is Henry Green''s first novel. Begun when the author was still at school, it tells the story of a clever and artistic boy who, blinded in a senseless accident, turns to writing with powers extraordinarily heightened by his affliction. With a total lack of sentimentality Henry Green explores the youth''s adaptation to his changed and darkened life.

Blindness has been much referred to and much discussed by Green''s admirers, but for many years has been impossible to obtain. Its reissue coincides with the increasing recognition of Green''s stature as a major modern English novelist.
