Helen Keller's superb autobiography takes us through the childhood and early life of a woman who was to become one of the United States most celebrated activists and lecturers. First published in 1903, Keller's early memoirs reveal her upbringing which was very much in the spirit of American tradition. Being both deaf and blind, Keller's astounding rise to a position of great prominence and fame in society gave inspiration to countless individuals suffering from sensory disabilities. Keller details her childhood and the character of her close family members. Both of her parents receive detailed descriptions; her father, a former Confederate officer, demonstrated to Keller the importance of publicity at an early age by editing the North Alabamian newspaper. Helen's training in sign language enabled her to communicate, and Keller was duly dispatched to a specialist doctor who referred her to the young Anne Sullivan, who became a lifelong friend and mentor to the young Keller.

Presenting the Large Print edition of The Story of My Life by Helen Keller. Unique among vital and inspirational large print books for children and readers of all ages, Helen Keller's The Story of My Life is an unforgettable and moving addition to every library, charting the development of her earliest years as she grew to know her world to her discovering her incredible talents in spite of her deafness and blindness. Helen Keller was born on Ivy Green homestead in Tuscumbia, Alabama, on June 27, 1880. At 19 months old she contracted an unknown illness described by doctors as "an acute congestion of the stomach and the brain" (possibly scarlet fever or meningitis), and the illness left her both deaf and blind. In the early years of childhood, she learned many signs, and how to tell who was walking near her by the vibrations of their footsteps. Inspired by an account in Charles Dickens' American Notes of the education of Laura Bridgman (who was also deaf and blind), Keller's mother sent her to see specialist J. Julian Chisholm in Baltimore, who referred them to Alexander Graham Bell, who was then working with deaf children. Bell told them to contact the Perkins Institute for the Blind in South Boston (where Bridgman had been educated), and the school's director Michael Anagnos asked visually impaired former student Anne Sullivan to become Keller's instructor. After early struggles, their relationship blossomed, and in time Keller (accompanied by Sullivan) would attend the Perkins Institute for the Blind, the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf, the Horace Mann School for the Deaf, The Cambridge School for Young Ladies, then Radcliffe College, Harvard University. In 1904, Keller graduated from Radcliffe, becoming the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. She became proficient using braille, reading lips with her hands, and also in speech, giving talks and lectures throughout the course of her life. She remained a close companion of Sullivan's up to her death in 1936, also forging a close friendship-following Sullivan's marriage to John Macy in 1905-with her housekeeper (and, later, her secretary) Polly Thomson. Keller wrote twelve books, including the popular autobiographical works The Story of My Life (1903) and The World I Live In (1908), as well as a number of articles. After suffering a series of strokes in 1961, she spent the last years of her life at her home. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and at the 1965 New York World's Fair she was elected to the National Women's Hall of Fame. On June 1, 1968, just short of her eighty-eighth birthday, she died in her sleep at her home of Arcan Ridge in Easton, Connecticut. Her ashes were interred (beside Anne Sullivan and Polly Thomson) at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

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. Winter was 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.

THE 100th YEAR ANNIVERSARY EDITION The Story of My Life, a remarkable account of overcoming the debilitating challenges of being both deaf and blind, has become an international classic, making Helen Keller one of the most well-known, inspirational figures in history. Originally published in 1903, Keller’s fascinating memoir narrates the events of her life up to her third year at Radcliffe College. Helen Keller’s story of struggle and achievement is one of unquenchable hope. From tales of her difficult early days, to details of her relationship with her beloved teacher Anne Sullivan, to her impressions of academic life, Keller’s honest, straightforward writing lends insight into an amazing mind. Like the original, this centenary edition of The Story of My Life includes letters Keller wrote to friends throughout her childhood and adolescence that chronicle her intellectual and sensory progression, as well as assistant John Macy’s commentary on her interpretations of her surroundings. In addition to reprinting Keller’s long-lost original work, this edition contains excerpts from her little-known, deeply personal memoir The World We Live In, which give readers a detailed look into an otherwise unimaginable existence, as well as an excerpt from Out of the Dark, a political commentary Keller wrote during her years as a socialist. Deftly edited and prefaced by scholar James Berger, this comprehensive anniversary edition celebrates a century of readers’ enthrallment with one of the most powerful figures in history.

The suffering that we humans experience every day, in some place on the planet, where does its comes from? Who produces it: nature, man, or God? Valid questions because the phenomenon is universal. Just listen to the news on radio or television; read a newspaper, a magazine or in the internet and soon you will hear or see some natural phenomenon causing tragedy, death, destruction in some part of the globe. When suffering is not caused by Nature, it is then produced by men hurting others. We also attribute God as the Cause of suffering. We do so because we believe that He is Almighty, and we thus question, why does He allow these tragic events to occur to his most precious creatures, us men? To make a judgment about the responsibility of each of these causes, it is necessary to make a dispassionate analysis, based on scientific data that allow us to understand that we reside on a living planet, in constant evolution, in cycles of manifestations of Life that have occurred over thousands of years of the planet’s evolution. Likewise, it is necessary to resort to an existential analysis and the ultimate meaning of Life to determine the role that man's freedom plays in defining his own and the destiny of others, while creating suffering. Finally, it is necessary to unveil the role that God plays or not in this process. This is necessary to find a satisfactory explanation to the enigmatic mystery that suffering poses.
