书籍介绍

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.

This book illustrates that with the support of love- mentally, financially, a flower that's in a profound slumber would be able to give out its fragrance from the valley of death. The key point is if anyone would like to offer this benignity to others. It's very enlightennig to learn that anyone is able to be beyond where he is deemed to reach.
的确被感动了。
I'll read it again and again...
内容不是特别多,到她上大学就结束了。前面部分很有趣,从她小时候失聪开始,讲到她的学习经历,盲而聋的人学习语言真是需要无比的毅力和决心。她竟然还学会了四门外语,真是令人惊服。后面部分讲她和朋友交往的部分就有点没意思了。最后的信件往来听得我犯困了。8.3吧,还不错。
上帝拿走了部分禮物;卻絕不吝嗇贈你更多禮物。用心看得世界原來比起眼睛看到的;我不敢說更精彩,但卻是那麼不一樣。更真實。原來語言對盲人和聾人是如此珍貴。作為健全的人;竟對語言的魅力的理解如此膚淺。慚愧慚愧。應當更加珍惜健全的五官;並不去吝嗇書寫表達;這才是回應上帝饋贈與我們的禮物-語言。
小时候只是把海伦凯勒当做一个励志的故事,现在看她的书更多的是惊讶语言文字对人和文化的影响力。
优美而真诚的回忆录,虽无华丽的辞藻,但情感真挚,描写优美,用词比喻灵动,带有一种散文诗般的回味;除了优美的文字以外,书中所体现的乐观励志的情感也深深打动着我:Helen自小因病夺去了视觉与听觉,在这样的条件下如何生存下去都是困难,但她却又饱含对世界的好奇,在老师的耐心引导下,她如饥似渴地学习知识,运用一切感官感受身边的一切,踏上了自己的人生之旅 真的很佩服,也很喜欢 虽然每个章节都很简短,但常常让我热泪盈眶 难以想象她是如何克服种种困难进入大学求学,也难以想象她是如何在经受了命运的打击后却仍对生命报之以歌。不可否认的是她对知识与教育的渴望、对生命的好奇与探索、不屈于命运的抗争、珍惜生命与一切美好的事物,这些品质很可贵,很欣慰 或许这就是教育的真正价值所在也说不定

一般般吧。比较好懂,哪怕穿插了一些GRE大词😹😹。感觉海伦有些厌女,时代局限性吧。
I'm so lucky to have the chance to see more, to find beauty and more possibilities.
