Touching the Rock: An Experience of Blindness

Touching The Rock Is A Unique Exploration Of That Distant, Infinitely Strange, 'other World' Of Blindness. John Hull Writes Of Odd Sounds And Echoes, Of People Without Faces, Of A Curious New Relationship Between Waking And Dreaming, Of A Changed Perception Of Nature And Human Personality. He Reveals A World In Which Every Human Experience, Eating And Lovemaking, Playing With Children And Buying Drinks In The Bar, Is Transformed. 'the Observation Is Minute, And It Is Also Profound: Everything Is Pondered, Explored, To Its Limit - Every Experience Turned This Way And That Until It Yields Its Full Harvest Of Meanings. The Incisiveness Of Hull's Observation, The Beauty Of His Language, Make This Book Poetry . . .' Oliver Sacks, From The Foreword
