| Summary | "A Blind Esperantist's Trip to Finland and Sweden, to Attend the Fourteenth…" by W. Percy Merrick is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This book recounts the author's journey as a blind Esperantist, highlighting his experiences while attending an international Esperanto congress in Finland and Sweden. It explores themes of language, culture, and the unique insights gained through Merrick's perspective as a blind traveler. In the book, Merrick details his voyage with fellow Esperantists from Hull to Finland, describing the camaraderie among the group and the various cultural experiences they encounter. He vividly narrates encounters with local Finnish people, the hospitality of institutions for the blind, and the warm welcomes received in both Finland and Sweden. Merrick also shares engaging stories of the blind community’s involvement in the congress, their discussions, and the sharing of ideas, particularly in relation to the education and support for blind individuals. The narrative culminates in reflections on the friendships formed and the shared hopes among Esperantists for promoting understanding and fellowship across nations.
