The Story of My Life is Helen Keller's own account of how she miraculously triumphed over blindness and deafness-and became one of the most inspiring and intriguing figures of our time.

"I recall my surprise on discovering that a mysterious hand had stripped the trees and bushes, leaving only here and there a wrinkled leaf. The birds had flown, and their empty nests in the bare trees were filled with snow. Winte***as on hill and field.

Thus I came up out of Egypt and stood before Sinai,and a power divine touched my spirit and gave it sight,so that I beheld many wonders.And from the sacred mountain I heard a voice which said,"Knowledge is love and light and vision."

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog,when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in,and the great ship,tense and anxious,groped he***ay toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line,and you waited with beating heart for something to happen?I was like that ship before my education began,only I was without compass or sounding-line,and had no way of knowing how near the harbou***as.

1.There is no king who has not had a salve among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his. 2. I came, I saw, I conquered, as the first baby in the family always does. 3. One brief spring, musical with the song of robin and mocking -bird,one summer rich in fruit and roses, one autumn of gold and Crimson sped by and left their gifts at the feet of an eager, delighted child. 4. 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, "the day is ours, and what the days has shown." (PS: same as drawing; once we draw it down; the thing is ours.)

Book Description

The Story of My Life is Helen Keller's own account of how she miraculously triumphed over blindness and deafness-and became one of the most inspiring and intriguing figures of our time.

"I recall my surprise on discovering that a mysterious hand had stripped the trees and bushes, leaving only here and there a wrinkled leaf. The birds had flown, and their empty nests in the bare trees were filled with snow. Winte***as on hill and field. The earth seemed benumbed by his icy touch, and the very spirits of the trees had withdrawn to their roots, and there, curled up in the dark, lay fast asleep. All life seemed to have ebbed away, and even when the sun shone the day was. "

Helen Kelle***ould not be bound by conditi***. Rendered deaf and blind at 19 months by scarlet fever, she learned to read (in several languages) and even speak, eventually graduating with honors from Radcliffe College in 1904, where as a student she wrote The Story of My Life. That she accomplished all of this in an age when few women attended college and the disabled were often relegated to the background, spoken of only in hushed tones, is remarkable. But Keller's many other achievements are impressive by any standard: she authored 13 books, wrote countless articles, and devoted her life to social reform. An active and effective suffragist, pacifist, and socialist (the latter association earned her an FBI file), she lectured on behalf of disabled people everywhere. She also helped start several foundati*** that continue to improve the lives of the deaf and blind around the world.

As a young girl Kelle***as obstinate, prone to fits of violence, and seething with rage at her inability to express herself. But at the age of 7 this wild child was transformed when, at the urging of Alexander Graham Bell, Anne Sullivan became her teacher, an event she declares "the most important day I remember in all my life." (Sullivan herself had once been blind, but partially recovered her sight after a series of operati***.) In a memorable passage, Kelle***rites of the day "Teacher" led her to a stream and repeatedly spelled out the letters w-a-t-e-r on one of her hands while pouring water over the other. This method proved a revelation: "That living world awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away." And, indeed, most of them were.

In her lovingly crafted and deeply perceptive autobiography, Keller's joyous spirit is most vividly expressed in her connection to nature:

Indeed, everything that could hum, or buzz, or sing, or bloom, had a part in my education.... Few know what joy it is to feel the roses pressing softly into the hand, or the beautiful motion of the lilies as they sway in the morning breeze. Sometimes I caught an insect in the flower I was plucking, and I felt the faint noise of a pair of wings rubbed together in a sudden terror....

The idea of feeling rather than hearing a sound, or of admiring a flower's motion rather than its color, evokes a strong visceral sensation in the reader, giving The Story of My Life a subtle power and beauty. Keller's celebration of discovery becomes our own. In the end, this blind and deaf woman succeeds in sharpening our eyes and ears to the beauty of the world.

More than a 100th-anniversary reprint, this book was reedited by li***ry scholar Roger Shattuck and Keller biographer Dorothy Hermann to include excised material.

The New York Times Book Review

The scientific interest of the process is great, both in itself and for the light it throws on the unc***cious and unobserved processes by which children with all their senses learn the same things that have been laboriously acquired by this girl ...
