An American classic rediscovered by each generation, The Story of My Life is Helen Keller's account of her triumph over deafness and blindness. Popularized by the stage play and movie The Miracle Worker, Keller's story has become a symbol of hope for people all over the world. This book--published when Keller was only twenty-two--portrays the wild child who is locked in the dark and silent prison of her own body. With an extraordinary immediacy, Keller reveals her frustrations and rage, and takes the reader on the unforgettable journey of her education and breakthroughs into the world of communication. From the moment Keller recognizes the word "water" when her teacher finger-spells the letters, we share her triumph as "that living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!" An unparalleled chronicle of courage, The Story of My Life remains startlingly fresh and vital more than a century after its first publication, a timeless testament to an indomitable will.From the Paperback edition.

Work Description
Helen Keller graduated cum laude from Radcliffe College in 1904, and the present book was written and published in her sophomore year with the aid and encouragement of Charles Townsend Copeland, her English teacher, and the literary critic, John Albert Macy. It contains her own account of the opening chapters of her life, a selection from her letters, and a description of her education and early development drawn mainly from the records of Annie Sullivan, the beloved "Teacher," through whose guidance and companionship Miss Keller emerged from darkness, silence, and isolation into the great world. - Introduction.
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.
