The world I live in

Excellent book. Helen Keller sees better than those of us who have eyes that can see and ears that can hear.

Such an important read... Sensual... Powerful...

She tries to help you understand the reality of her life. It is much more than you can imagine.

Astounding how insightful this woman was, as if sight was an impediment to true understanding. Incredibly eye-opening and delicate non fiction.

It is totally unbelieveable what she accomplished in her life. She learned more than most people with all 5 senses intact.

Loved it! Keller is poetic and incredibly descriptive in her prose! Funny and light-hearted! I found this to be an inspiration and a book that I know I will read over and over!

its interesting to know more about Helen Kellers thoughts and beliefs, but disappointing in some ways.

Helen Keller wrote this collection of short articles about her journey to consciousness when she was 17 years old - and its considered the best material she ever wrote. After 70 years this magnificent book is back in print and will rival any poetry and insights into life that you have ever read. Roger Shattuck does a wonderful job in providing background information and includes - MY STORY - written by Helen when she was 12 years old about her conscious awakening at the water pump that is the theme of THE MIRACLE WORKER. Helens own words about what happened when her teacher, Anne Sullivan, pumped the water over her hand and her consciousness broke through for the first time - is ten times more expressive that the words in the play. You will be astounded and amazed by what you find here. Helen Keller wrote down and expressed the essentials of life better than any self help book, seminar, film, or therapist I ever encountered. These short articles can change the way you look at and experience life - Helen Keller at 17 can be the MIRACLE WORKER in your own life. Youve got to read her words to believe it.

Eloquently written, this book has me viewing life from a completely different perspective. A book which makes me think, Ive enjoyed reading it and introducing it to our book club.

Very interesting!
