Features: In the 20th century, a unique individual shocked the world with their courageous approach, a woman who lived in darkness yet brought light to humanity, named by Time magazine as one of the top ten hero icons of the 20th century in America. This book is a compilation of Helen Keller's three works, "The Story of My Life," "Out of the Dark," and "Teacher," as well as the famous essay "Three Days to See," published in The Atlantic Monthly in the United States. It provides a complete and systematic introduction to the rich, vivid, real, and great life of Helen Keller, with many passages appearing in China for the first time. The letters in this book are divided into two parts.
The first part consists of 7 letters from 1887 to 1890. Readers can see a 7-year-old blind, deaf, and mute child who wrote these letters in just three and a half months of study, as well as their rapid development in thought and writing over the following four years, with language skills far exceeding those of normally sighted and hearing peers who received standard education.
The second part includes 10 letters from 1981 to 1901. At the age of 10, Helen Keller became actively involved in fundraising for a 5-year-old blind and deaf child named to receive an education. Later, she organized tea parties for the welfare of the blind, raised funds to establish a free library in her hometown, and more. It is clear that by this time, the young Helen Keller's heart had already begun to sprout the noble idea of helping others and those in need, understanding the importance of education for the blind. This laid the foundation for her later unwavering dedication to the cause of blind education.
