'The Country of the Blind' is the strange story of a mountain guide who accidently falls off a cliff ledge in the Andes. He survives the fall unhurt, and finds himself in a remote valley where a tribe lives completely cut off from the rest of the world. A hereditary illness has meant that for 15 generations all the members of the tribe have been born blind. As a result, they now have a highly evolved sense of hearing, scent and touch. 'In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king,' thinks the mountaineer. But he finds that the gift of sight is far less useful or appreciated that he had expected in the country of the blind.

Unfortunately the narrator ruins this great story. If you search for this audiobook on audible then you will find every single version has dreadful narrators - this one being the best of the bad bunch, but that certainly doesn't make it good. I'm going to have to look elsewhere Unfortunately.
