Paris 1821, at the Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles, France's national institution for the blind: it is the "Night Script" by a certain Charles Barbier that makes the blind Louis Braille brood deeply. Fascinated, the boy strokes the raised signs with his fingertips and asks himself one question: Is this writing, which was originally conceived as a secret script for the military, the vehicle to freedom? And lo and behold - after initial difficulties he arrives at six simple sublime points. They are - so he becomes aware - the key to all the knowledge that lies dormant in the books of the sighted and for which he thirsts infinitely. An atmospheric novel about the life of an impressive man whose invention opens up the world to so many: Louis Braille. New product
