Schelling Blind Man's Lantern Produced from Analog December 1962. Produced by Greg Weeks, Geetu Melwani and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Blind Man's Lantern" by Allen Kim Lang is a science fiction novel that likely emerged during the early 1960s. The story is set in an interstellar context, revolving around the challenges and unique experiences of settlers establishing colonies on distant planets. The narrative explores themes related to cultural adaptation, resilience, and the blending of different ways of life. The plot follows Aaron and Martha Stoltzfoos, an Amish couple as they embark on a homesteading venture on the planet Murna. After arriving with their belongings and a vision of farming, they encounter the local culture and customs, which contrast sharply with their Old Order beliefs. As Aaron attempts to cultivate the land and share agricultural practices with the Murnans, he inadvertently transgresses local taboos, leading to conflict with the community's chieftain, Sarki Kazunzumi. The story delves into Aaron's internal struggle to reconcile his identity and beliefs while seeking acceptance among the Murnans, culminating in a poignant exploration of understanding, humility, and the importance of respecting the land and its traditions.
