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.

  • "John Hull became blind in 1983 introducing him to a different perception of nature and human personality. This book tells the truth of what it is like to be blind, of people without faces and the new feel of eating and lovemaking."@en
  • "Témoignage bouleversant d'un homme qui est devenu progressivement aveugle: il perdra complètement la vue à quarante ans. Les observations de Hull portent sur tous les aspects de sa vie et de son monde intérieur. Il fait un compte rendu minutieux de la disparition graduelle de son oeil extérieur mais aussi de "l'oeil intérieur"; de la perte définitive de la mémoire visuelle, des concepts visuels, de l'image visuelle et de l'orientation visuelle, une période de cinq ans vers cet état qu'il nomme "cécité profonde", où il ne se rappelle plus son propre visage ni celui de ses proches."
  • "John Hull was born in Australia in 1935. He has struggled with ill-health and visual problems for much of his life, becoming blind in 1983. He has a family, a responsible post (Professor of Religious Education at Birmingham), and leads an active life. He reflects on his experiences and attitudes since "I began to take up my residence in another world"."@en
