The Story of My Life (1903) is the autobiography of Helen Keller.
Written while she was an undergraduate student at Radcliffe College
in Cambridge, Massachusetts, The Story of My Life was a joint
effort between Keller, her teacher Anne Sullivan, and Anne's
husband John Macy. "Gradually I got used to the silence and
darkness that surrounded me and forgot that it had ever been
different, until she came-my teacher-who was to set my spirit free.
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 day has shown.'"
After losing her hearing and sight as an infant, Helen Keller
received a life-changing education from her dedicated teacher Anne
Sullivan, herself vision impaired. As she learned to communicate
through signs, she found an innate determination to surpass the
expectations of those around her, eventually becoming the first
deafblind person to obtain her Bachelor of Arts. Her autobiography
is a rich retelling of the first twenty-one years of Keller's life,
a period marked by tragedy and miracle alike, shaping her into one
of the twentieth century's leading civil rights activists and
public speakers. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Helen Keller's
The Story of My Life is a classic of American literature reimagined
for modern readers.
