Helena Keller

    27 juni 1880 – 1 juni 1968

    Helen Keller liet zich niet beperken door haar omstandigheden. Nadat ze op 19 maanden oud doof en blind werd, leerde ze lezen en spreken, en studeerde uiteindelijk cum laude af. Ze schreef 13 boeken, talloze artikelen en wijdde haar leven aan sociale hervormingen, waarbij ze zich wereldwijd inzette voor mensen met een handicap. Haar vreugdevolle geest en viering van ontdekking schijnen door haar werk, waardoor lezers de schoonheid van de wereld met aangescherpte zintuigen waarnemen.

      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.

      Comment Helen Keller, une jeune fille sourde, muette, aveugle, donc privée des sens qui mettent le plus en rapport avec le monde extérieur, parvient-elle, par un effort continu, acharné, à un degré de culture que n'atteignent pas tous les êtres qui ont le privilège de voir, d'entendre, de parier ? Ces pages reflètent un véritable drame dans les ténèbres. Elles nous font assister à l'éveil, puis au développement progressif de ce qu'il y a de meilleur en l'individu : l'intelligence et le cœur. Deux facteurs y concourent : la volonté tenace du sujet, Helen Keller, et l'amour persévérant de son admirable éducatrice, Anne Sullivan.
