About This Book

A scientist suddenly begins experiencing vivid displacements of perception: while physically present in familiar rooms he perceives himself on distant sunlit shores and aboard a schooner, and he becomes functionally blind despite retaining touch and hearing. Colleagues and friends try to rouse, examine, and care for him, testing explanations that range from somnambulism to neurological disturbance. The account traces their attempts to document and understand the episodes, probing the limits of sensory experience and the uneasy boundary between bodily presence and altered consciousness.

About the Author

H. G. Wells

Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was an English writer and social commentator, renowned for his contributions to science fiction and social criticism. Often referred to as the 'father of science fiction,' Wells explored themes of technology, society, and human nature in his works. His notable titles include "The War of the Worlds," which depicts an alien invasion, and "The Time Machine," a pioneering narrative that delves into time travel. In addition to fiction, Wells wrote extensively on contemporary issues, as seen in works like "An Englishman Looks at the World." His literary legacy continues to influence writers and thinkers, making him a significant figure in both literature and social thought.
