Blindness

Henry Green — a young, audacious voice in modernist fiction — brings to life through a journey that is at once devastating and awakening. The protagonist, John Haye, begins as a confident student full of literary ambitions; then a freak accident robs him of his sight, and everything he knows is turned upside down.

But this is not just a story of loss — through the darkness, Green shows how inner vision can sharpen. Stripped of sight, John’s world becomes richer in sound, touch, memory and imagination. The novel traces his psychological metamorphosis — from despair and self‑pity to a startling rebirth of insight and creative longing.

The power of the book lies in this very transformation: you don’t just read John’s blindness, you feel it. You sense his confusion, his frustrations, the weight of darkness — and then, slowly, the shift in how he perceives life. His blindness becomes a strange kind of clarity, a new lens through which he begins to see the contours of his world more truly than ever before.

If you’re seeking a narrative that examines suffering, identity, vulnerability — and ultimately the resilience of the human spirit — then this book promises not just a story, but an intimate journey from obliteration to awakening. In Blindness, loss becomes the birthplace of new seeing.
