Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

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.

Helen Keller

By: Helen Keller

A different portrayal of Keller, who is usually remembered for her work aiding blind and deaf-blind people. Deaf and blind herself from the age of 19 months, Keller did indeed devote her adult life to helping those similarly afflicted - she was also a crusading Socialist, championing the poor and oppressed from all walks of life and leading a fight against the less obvious evil of social blindness. John Davis has collected her political writing and speeches, including her arguments for women's suffrage, her opposition to the world wars and support for Eugene V. Debs.

The Story of my Life (100th Anniversary Edition)

By: Helen Keller

Helen Keller's triumph over her blindness and deafness has become one of the most inspiring stories of our time. Here, in a book first published when she was young woman, is Helen Keller's own story—complex, poignant, and filled with love. With unforgettable immediacy, Helen’s own words reveal the heart of an exceptional woman, her struggles and joys, including that memorable moment when she finally understands that Anne’s finger-spelled letters w-a-t-e-r mean the fluid rushing over her hand. Helen Keller was always a compassionate and witty advocate for the handicapped, and her sincere and eloquent memoir is deeply moving for the sighted and the blind, the deaf and the hearing. “Her spirit will endure,” said Senator Lister Hill at her funeral, “as long as man can read and stories can be told of the woman who showed the world there are no boundaries to courage and faith.” Through movies and plays, most notably The Miracle Worker, which portrayed her relationship with her teacher, Anne Sullivan, Keller’s life has become an emblem of hope for people everywhere. With an Introduction by Jim Knipfel and an Afterword by Marlee Matlin This Signet Classic edition includes a facsimile of the Braille alphabet, a sign-language alphabet, and a full selection of Helen Keller’s letters.

The Story of My Life (Large Print Edition) by Helen Keller (Illustrated)

By: Helen 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.

The Story of My Life: The Autobiography of the First Deaf-Blind Person to Earn a University Degree (Hardcover)

By: Helen Keller

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.

The Story Of My Life - The Classic Autobiography of Helen Keller

By: Helen Keller

The Story Of My Life - The Autobiography of Helen Keller - First published in 1903 - The book was the basis for the well-known movie "The Miracle Worker" by William Gibson. - It is with a kind of fear that I begin to write the history of my life. I have, as it were, a superstitious hesitation in lifting the veil that clings about my childhood like a golden mist. The task of writing an autobiography is a dicult one. When I try to classify my earliest impressions, I find that fact and fancy look alike across the years that link the past with the present. The woman paints the child's experiences in her own fantasy. A few impressions stand out vividly from the first years of my life; but "the shadows of the prison-house are on the rest." Besides, many of the joys and sorrows of childhood have lost their poignancy; and many incidents of vital importance in my early education have been forgotten in the excitement of great discoveries. In order, therefore, not to be tedious I shall try to present in a series of sketches only the episodes that seem to me to be the most interesting and important.
