Description
This Czech-language autobiography recounts the life of Helen Keller, who was born a healthy child into a good American family but lost both her sight and hearing after a sudden illness in her second year of life. Neither the surrounding silence nor darkness could prevent her from embracing life fully, and with the help of her devoted teacher Anne Sullivan, she showed the world the power of human courage and determination. First published in 1903, Helen’s autobiography describes the events of her first 22 years. The later acclaimed author and advocate for disadvantaged and oppressed people vividly portrays everyday joys, her discovery of the secrets of language and speech, the arduous path of education that led to her dream of attending Harvard, and her friendships with many prominent figures of her time. Helen Keller’s memoir is a testament to a fulfilled life and a compelling portrait of one of the most admired women of the 20th century.
