前言

This book is in three parts. The first two, Miss Keller's storyand the extracts from her letters, form a complete account of herlife as far as she can give it. Much of her education she cannotexplain herself, and since a knowledge of that is necessary to anunderstanding of what she has written, it was thought best tosupplement her autobiography with the reports and letters of herteacher, Miss Anne Mansfield Sullivan. The addition of a furtheraccount of Miss Keller's personality and achievements may beunnecessary; yet it will help to make clear some of the traits of hercharacter and the nature of the work which she and her teacherhave done.For the third part of the book the Editor is responsible,though all that is valid in it he owes to authentic records and to theadvice of Miss Sullivan.The Editor desires to express his gratitude and the gratitudeof Miss Keller and Miss Sullivan to The Ladies' Home Journal andto its editors, Mr. Edward Bok and Mr. William V. Alexander, whohave been unfailingly kind and have given for use in this book allthe photographs which were taken expressly for the Journal; andthe Editor thanks Miss Keller's many friends who have lent him her letters to them and given him valuable information; especially Mrs. Laurence Hutton, who supplied him with her large collection of notes and'anecdotes; Mr. John Hitz, Superintendent of the Volta Bureau for the Increase and Diffusion of Knowledge relating to the Deaf; and Mrs. Sophia C. Hopkins, to whom Miss Sullivan.

内容概要

The Story of My Life, a remarkable account of overcoming the debilitating challenges of being both deaf and blind, has made Helen Kellen one of the most inspirational figures in history. From tales of her early difficult days, to details of her relationship with her beloved teacher Anne Sullivan, to her impressions of academic life, Keller's straightforward writing offers insight into an amazing mind. The Story of My Life has become an enduring classic of American literature. It was always to be the most popular of Helen Keller's works, with numerous editions published throughout the years. Today, the book is available in more than 50 languages, including most European languages.

作者简介

Helen Adams Keller born in 1880, was an American author, activist and lecturer. She was the first deaf-blind graduate of Radcliffe College. Later, she became a high-profile socialist, and throughout her life she was a strong advocate for the blind and deaf communities, visiting over thirty-five countries and publishing fourteen books about her experiences, which have been translated into more than fifty languages. She died in 1968.

章节摘录

It is with a kind of fear that I begin to write the history ofmy life. I have, as it were, a superstitious hesitation in lifting theveil that clings about my childhood like a golden mist. The task ofwriting an autobiography is a difficult one. When I try to classifymy earliest impressions, I find that fact and fancy look alike acrossthe years that link the past with the present. The woman paintsthe child's experiences in her own fantasy A few impressions standout vividly from the first years of my life; but "the shadows ofthe prison-house are on the rest." Besides, many of the joys andsorrows of childhood have lost their poignancy; and many incidentsof vital importance in my early education have been forgotten inthe excitement of great discoveries. In order, therefore, not tobe tedious I shall try to present in a series of sketches only theepisodes that seem to me to be the most interesting and important.I was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, a little town ofnorthern Alabama.The family on my father's side is descended from CasparKeller, a native of Switzerland, who settled in Maryland. One ofmy Swiss ancestors was the first teacher of the deaf in Zurich andwrote a book on the subject of their education——rather a singularcoincidence; though it is true that there is no king who has not hada slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a kingamong his.My grandfather, Caspar Keller's son, "entered" large tractsof land in Alabama and finally settled there. I have been told thatonce a year he went from Tuscumbia to Philadelphia on horseback to purchase supplies for the plantation, and my aunt has in her.

•   英文原版的海伦凯勒自传，值得一读！
•   I bought this book this month, and I read it through as soon as I got it. It really impressed me a lot. This book contains 3 part; 1st part is writen by Helen herself, she talked about her life, how did she know the teacher, how she leared to read, how was her life etc. And the 2nd part is her letters to her friends, 3rd parts is how does her friends think of her.
  
  I received an email today from Dangdang invited me to write about what I think about this book. In fact, now I just have finished part 1 and part 2, I have not finished the whole book. The book was writen when Helen was about 20, and her language skill is very good, you can see that in part 1. When I read the part 2, the letters start from her first letter when she just learned a few words and 4 years since after that. I saw the progress she made, it made me think if a blind and deal little girl can learn so very well, why can not I? Only 4 years! Think about the difficulties for a normal person, and compare it to her situation.
  
  I ***e her story very much, I think she can ispire people to work hard for better life. No matter what poor condition we are in right now, be positive, always!
  
  Be positive is something I want to tell myself, I know how I felt when I was depressed, ***e when things changed recently, lost, totally lost! I felt there is nobody to help me out, people really cares for me can not help me. I decided to quite the job, that is something I don't know I did it wrong or right. When I was bored yesterday I took out my mobile phone and found out most of people I know are from this company, 3 years....I spent 3 years here, from 19 old to 22... so many people here witnessed me from a 19 years young girl became what I am today. But I want to change, I am determined for this. Even I know I need to spend so much time at my hometown, a place full of mountains, which is has nothing to compare with a modern city ***e Guangzhou except the good air and quiteness. But th

•   海伦凯勒很悲催，但精神可贵呀。
•   读海伦的这本自传
  是在我生病后的恢复期内
  
  断断续续的读这本书 用了5个月的时间
  在这近半年的时间里
  正是她内心的强大
  指引并陪伴着我逐渐从疾病的困扰中走了出来
  
  引用书中我个人认为最为精彩的语录：
  Every struggle is a victory (每次尝试都是成功)

•   应该是原版英文书，喜欢，慢慢看
•   作者一定是满怀着爱来写这些自传内容的.很难想象一个不能看,不能听这个世界的人能写出这样生动的世界.作者的心是跳动的,而我现在生活的环境里全是浮躁,收到书到现在,才看了一两页,已经不敢再面对这样温情的文字.一个行为受制的人却比我们这些健全人更爱这个世界,更懂得发现这个世界的美.这份爱,让我久久感动.

•   “19世纪有两个奇人，一个是拿破伦，一个是海伦凯勒。”这是19世纪美国著名作家马克.吐温说过的一句话。海伦凯勒身为一名残疾女性，却有着自强不息的毅力，令人佩服。她一岁时生了一场病，从此便生活在无声漆黑的生活中了，但她却不放弃自己的人生。她靠勤劳刻苦，的学习，使自己有文化。她对生活燃起了希望使她开始写作文，故事，小说......渐渐成为一个家喻户晓，耳熟能详的励志人物。当我读完她的自传时，我情不自禁的从心底涌上了一股热情。凯勒小姐在既无声又失去光明的世界中，对生活的热情远远不会少于任何人，甚至比他们多一倍，两倍，十倍......令我感动，但在我心中更多的是疑问---为什么那一小部分人有着正常的身躯，却不珍惜，去做那些违反法制的事，去吸毒，抢劫，甚至杀人......我在想凯勒小姐能在没有精彩的世界中创造精彩,而我们有些同学却自暴自弃,不可以！绝对不行！你们也应该对生活充满热情。命运对每个人都不一定公平，但我们能做的事不是去抱怨，而应该去争取，让我们在同一片蓝天下放飞希望的心。让我们向凯勒小姐学习。张开心灵的眼睛，做个有用的人！凯勒小姐给我们所有的人上了一堂永远都不能遗忘的一课，让我们永远记住她——19世纪的奇人，海伦凯勒。
•   可能是海伦本身的特别 她的自传表述方式和内容也比较特别
  主要分为讲述她受教育的经历和她和别人的书信来往内容 能确实感受到海伦为人的态度 充满感恩
  另外 可能我对美国文化和历史的不够了解 书中有很多关于这方面的内容没能看懂
•   封边相当正派，就是里面的有点儿密，不知道是不是引文原版都这样
•   同学买的。
  应该以前就听过她的故事的。
  主要是为了提高英文阅读能力~~~
•   个人认为是一本很值得看的一本书,全英文
•   纸质不是特别好，而且书的侧面有磨损开胶现象，让珍藏版这三个字打折扣了
•   看了评论才决定买的 同时也是被她的经历所感动 一个女孩能够拥有如此惊人的力量 更是因为她没有我们正常人所拥有的一切 真的很是令人敬佩
•   一个令人敬佩的女士，很励志
•   送货速度很快，头一天下的订单，第二天就收到。文字优美，正在看。就是印刷质量稍稍有些不足，不过瑕不掩瑜。
•   还不错呦，只是纸质没想象中的好。发货很及时！！！
•   书的纸张不是理想中的那种，字看着有些挤，不过还好内容还不错的，全英的。
•   这本书作为一本自传体性质的文学名著，不仅激励了我的内心，还能对我的英语学习有很大的帮助，总之，对于我这样的学生很有用
•   还没读，教材上有他一篇文章，挺感人的，拿来读读。。
•   书还没看，无法评价，但本来打算国庆假期好好看看的书，拖到3号晚上才送到，有点失望。如果不可以像平时一样送到，应该在下单的时候提醒顾客的。
•   这个内容相信很多的人都知道,但之前看过中文版的,这次原版的还没看完,慢慢的看才行,一个坚强不屈的生命.书的质量还好,还没有发现什么让人失望的瑕疵。
•   好书，值得珍藏，反复回味的一本书
•   这本书世纪上是1903年出版的《The story of my life》的引进版，由Macy，即Helen老师Anne Sullivan的丈夫(当时与Sullivan还不是夫妻)协助编辑的出版的。其中并不包含著名的《Three Days of My Life》。印刷和纸张都不错，还算精致。
•   记得学校时代，有《假如给我三天光明》，让我认识了她，现在，买一本她的自传，再次领略下她的坚强！
•   这是为女儿买的第一本英文原版书，选得很仔细。为了让她有兴趣，选了本她看过中文版的书。
•   没有封口的，拿来就直接可以翻的，买了卓越近20本书，近一半都是这样的...唉...书的前半和后半的纸张颜色有差别，纸质偏旧，边缘剪裁的痕迹可见。字母高1mm宽1mm，个人认为比较小，但印刷的比较清楚...总的来说一般！不适合收藏的！
•   感觉不是很好，主要是我不喜欢这种纸，内容挺好的
•   励志的人生不需要解释，想要励志请速速购买，很不错
•   很不错的书英文版的值得推荐
•   帮同学买的、看着很不错
•   不错不错，，就是太厚
•   现在看人性的优点原版，so这本还么看，纸张一般
•   纸张有些劣质……不能算是珍藏版
