Description
The Story of My Life is an autobiography written by Helen Keller, one of the most inspiring figures of the 20th century. The book chronicles her early life as a deaf and blind child and her journey towards becoming one of the most accomplished women of her time. Keller was born in Alabama in 1880, and at the age of 19 months, she contracted an illness that left her deaf and blind. Despite her disabilities, she learned to communicate with the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, and went on to graduate from college and become a renowned author, speaker, and activist.The book is divided into two parts. The first part describes Keller's childhood, her struggles with communication, and her breakthrough moment when she first understood the concept of language. She also writes about her relationship with Sullivan, who became her mentor and lifelong friend.In the second part of the book, Keller writes about her experiences as a young adult, including her education at Radcliffe College, her travels around the world, and her advocacy for the rights of people with disabilities. She also reflects on her personal philosophy and the role of faith in her life.Throughout the book, Keller's writing is characterized by her intelligence, wit, and determination. She describes her experiences in vivid detail, offering readers a glimpse into the mind of a remarkable woman who overcame incredible obstacles to achieve her dreams. The Story of My Life is a powerful testament to the human spirit and an inspiration to anyone who has ever faced adversity.1911. With Helen Keller's letters of 1887-1901 and a supplementary account of her education, including passages from the reports and letters of her teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan. This book is divided into three parts. The first two, Helen Keller's story and the extracts from her letters, form a complete account of her life as far as she can give it. She cannot explain much of her education, and since a knowledge of that is necessary to an understanding of what she has written, her autobiography is supplemented with the reports and letters of her teacher, thus the third part of this book.
