Produktbeschreibung

Stuck in a rut? Need an attitude adjustment? This inspirational classic from American author Helen Keller is bound to fit the bill. Rendered deaf and blind by scarlet fever in her infancy in a time when the disabled were often shunned and ignored, Keller managed to learn to read, write, and speak, not in only in her native English, but in several other languages, as well. Keller regards optimism as "e;the faith that leads to achievement,"e; and this treatise lays out her views on making the best of even the direst of circumstances.

Autorenporträt

Helen Keller (June 27, 1880-June 1, 1968). She was a U.S. writer and educator who was blind and deaf. Keller was deprived due to her sickness of sight and hearing at 19 months, and her speech improvement soon ended as well. After five years, she was instructed by Anne Sullivan (1866-1936), who educated her on the names of objects by squeezing the manual alphabets in order into her palm. At last, Keller figured out how to read and write in Braille. She wrote many books, including The Story of My Life (1902), Optimism (1903), The World I Live in (1908), Light in My Darkness and My Religion (1927), Helen Keller's Journal (1938), and The Open Door (1957). Her childhood was portrayed in William Gibson's play The Miracle Worker in 1959 (film, 1962).
