Description
The Story of My Life (1903) is the autobiography of Helen Keller. Written while she was an undergraduate student at Radcliffe College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, The Story of My Life was a joint effort between Keller, her teacher Anne Sullivan, and Anneâ?Ts husband John Macy. â?oGradually I got used to the silence and darkness that surrounded me and forgot that it had ever been different, until she cameâ?"my teacherâ?"who was to set my spirit free. But during the first nineteen months of my life I had caught glimpses of broad, green fields, a luminous sky, trees and flowers which the darkness that followed could not wholly blot out. If we have once seen, â?~the day is ours, and what the day has shown.â?Tâ?? After losing her hearing and sight as an infant, Helen Keller received a life-changing education from her dedicated teacher Anne Sullivan, herself vision impaired. As she learned to communicate through signs, she found an innate determination to surpass the expectations of those around her, eventually becoming the first deafblind person to obtain her Bachelor of Arts. Her autobiography is a rich retelling of the first twenty-one years of Kellerâ?Ts life, a period marked by tragedy and miracle alike, shaping her into one of the twentieth centuryâ?Ts leading civil rights activists and public speakers. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Helen Kellerâ?Ts The Story of My Life is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.
