Description
Helen Keller's autobiography is a deeply moving account of her life, from the moment she was struck by illness at just 19 months old. She recounts her struggle to overcome her disabilities, including blindness and deafness, and her remarkable journey towards learning and independence. At the heart of this story is Helen's extraordinary relationship with her teacher, Anne Sullivan, who showed a remarkable genius for communicating with her pupil. Through clear and straightforward prose, Helen shares her experiences, including her joy at eventually learning to speak, her friendships with notable figures, and her education at Radcliffe College. This memoir offers an unforgettable portrait of one of the outstanding women of the twentieth century, full of love and compassion for others.
