Book De*ion

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.

Helen Keller would not be bound by conditions. Rendered deaf and

blind at 19 months by scarlet fever, she learned to read (in

several languages) and even speak, eventually graduating with

honors from Radcliffe College in 1904, where as a student she wrote

The Story of My Life. That she accomplished all of this in an age

when few women attended college and the disabled were often

relegated to the background, spoken of only in hushed tones, is

remarkable. But Keller's many other achievements are impressive by

any standard: she authored 13 books, wrote countless articles, and

devoted her life to social reform. An active and effective

suffragist, pacifist, and socialist (the latter association earned

her an FBI file), she lectured on behalf of disabled people

everywhere. She also helped start several foundations that continue

to improve the lives of the deaf and blind around the world.

As a young girl Keller was obstinate, prone to fits of violence,

and seething with rage at her inability to express herself. But at

the age of 7 this wild child was transformed when, at the urging of

Alexander Graham Bell, Anne Sullivan became her teacher, an event

she declares "the most important day I remember in all my life."

(Sullivan herself had once been blind, but partially recovered her

sight after a series of operations.) In a memorable passage, Keller

writes of the day "Teacher" led her to a stream and repeatedly

spelled out the letters w-a-t-e-r on one of her hands while pouring

water over the other. This method proved a revelation: "That living

world awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!

There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in

time be swept away." And, indeed, most of them were.

In her lovingly crafted and deeply perceptive autobiography,

Keller's joyous spirit is most vividly expressed in her connection

to nature:

Indeed, everything that could hum, or buzz, or sing, or bloom, had

a part in my education.... Few know what joy it is to feel the

roses pressing softly into the hand, or the beautiful motion of the

lilies as they sway in the morning breeze. Sometimes I caught an

insect in the flower I was plucking, and I felt the faint noise of

a pair of wings rubbed together in a sudden terror....

The idea of feeling rather than hearing a sound, or of admiring a

flower's motion rather than its color, evokes a strong visceral

sensation in the reader, giving The Story of My Life a subtle power

and beauty. Keller's celebration of discovery becomes our own. In

the end, this blind and deaf woman succeeds in sharpening our eyes

and ears to the beauty of the world.

The New York Times Book Review

The scientific interest of the process is great, both in itself and

for the light it throws on the unconscious and unobserved processes

by which children with all their senses learn the same things that

have been laboriously acquired by this girl ...

THE STORY OF MY LIFE

LETTERS

作者介绍：

Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama.

At nineteen months old an acute ilness nearly took her life and

left her deaf and blind. At the recommendation of Alexander Graham

Bell, her parents contacted the Perkins institute for the Blind in

Boston, and Anne Sullivan was sent to tutor Helen. The story of

their early years together, and Helen's remarkable pyschological

and intellectual growth, is told in The Story of My Life,

which first appeared in installments in Ladies' Home Journal

in 1902. With Anne Sullivan, "Teacher," at her side, Helen Keller

graduated from Radcliffe College in 1904, an extraordinary

accomplishment for any woman of her time. A women's-rights

activist, a socialist, and a world-famous celebrity, Helen Keller

received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and many honorary

degrees. Her other books include The World I live In (1908),

Midstream: My Later Life (1929), Helen Keller's

Journal (1938), and Let us Have Faith (1940). She died

in 1968. Her burial urn is in the National Cathedral in

Washingtion, D.C.

原文赏析：

Thus I came up out of Egypt and stood before Sinai,and a power divine touched my spirit and gave it sight,so that I beheld many wonders.And from the sacred mountain I heard a voice which said,"Knowledge is love and light and vision."

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog,when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in,and the great ship,tense and anxious,groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line,and you waited with beating heart for something to happen?I was like that ship before my education began,only I was without compass or sounding-line,and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was.

1.There is no king who has not had a salve among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his. 2. I came, I saw, I conquered, as the first baby in the family always does. 3. One brief spring, musical with the song of robin and mocking -bird,one summer rich in fruit and roses, one autumn of gold and Crimson sped by and left their gifts at the feet of an eager, delighted child. 4. 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 days has shown." (PS: same as drawing; once we draw it down; the thing is ours.)
