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.
