Sinopse
"It’s a gift. Not a gift I want, but it is a gift."
Days before the birth of his first son, writer and academic John M. Hull started to go blind. He would lose his sight entirely, plunged into darkness, unable to distinguish any sense of light or shadow. Isolated and claustrophobic, he sank into a deep depression. Soon, he had forgotten what his wife and daughter looked like.
In Notes on Blindness, John reveals his profound sense of loss, his altered perceptions of time and space, of waking and sleeping, love, and companionship. With astonishing lucidity of thought and no self-pity, he describes the horror of being faceless, and asks what it truly means to be a husband and father. And eventually, he finds a new way of experiencing the world, of seeing the light despite the darkness.
Based on John’s diaries recorded on audio tape, this is a profoundly moving, wise and life-affirming account of one man’s journey into blindness. Notes on Blindness was the basis for a major documentary that was nominated for a BAFTA in 2016.

A heartfelt biography
"Notes on Blindness" is an autobiographical account by John M. Hull, who began recording his experiences on cassette tapes as he adapted to becoming blind. The book delves into his struggles, reflections, and the profound transformation in how he perceives life and the world around him. Hull’s recordings offer a vivid portrayal of his inner journey, capturing the essence of his dreams, his newfound appreciation for rain, and his efforts to remain connected with his family and faith despite his blindness.
I loved the audiobook version of "Notes on Blindness." John Hull's personal recordings are not only a proof of his struggle to adapt to blindness but also an exploration of his new way of perceiving life. His descriptions are so vivid that you can almost see the colors in his dreams and feel the rain as he describes his love for it, which gives him a sense of place in the world. The way he narrates his desperate attempts to grasp sanity, cope with new challenges, and interact with his young children and devoted wife is both touching and inspiring. His fear of going blind and his unshakable faith in God leading him through this dark path resonate deeply, making this book a must-read or listen for anyone wanting to understand what it is like to live with blindness.
John Hull's reflections and quest for answers make us question our own lives and what we hold dear. His ability to articulate his internal struggles and the beauty he finds in his altered perception of the world is remarkable. The audiobook immerses you in Hull's journey, making you feel his fear, faith, and resilience. It is a reminder of the human spirit's ability to adapt and find meaning even in the face of profound challenges. A Must listen!
