The world I live in

What beautiful writing! Its pointed out in the intro that, more than most of us, her world was shaped with WORDS. Ive only read about four essays so far, and am profoundly touched. Ive always admired Helen Keller, but am newly re-impressed with her wisdom and vision, and touched that she can write so clearly as to make me feel how little she felt limited by her handicap. If Helen Keller had simply learned to behave and ask politely for her food, etc, it would have been an impressive accomplishment. The fact that she grew to fully embrace her intelligence, her world and her potential . . . wow. I know so many people who are content to just do the bare minimum, to not stretch their limits at all, to not show any intellectual curiosity . . . she had the perfect excuse to exert the least effort, yet she didnt. Once she was given the key, the entree to humanity, she didnt let her handicaps stop her. I love that even all these years later, she is still able to share that.

Very Informative; but, too boring to read the complete book.

Enlightening and wonderful!

It was ok

I received the book promptly. The material was in new condition without any flaws. I was very pleased. Thank you!

I enjoy reading about Helen Keller and found this book very interesting and enjoyable. My 9-year-old granddaughter also wanted to read this. Once she started she didnt want to stop.

I loved this book, it explained her thoughts and how she felt in such great detail that I want to read it all again!

This is an amazing book by an amazing human being. I truly do not understand how a person could construct a sophisticated, subtle, and comprehensive understanding of the world with only the sense of taste, smell, and touch. Absolutely miraculous. A great testimony to God and to the human spirit. Each essay is a little gem, easy to read. If they dont bring a lump to your throat, you may lead the unexamined life.

Great to have on my computer! Worth the purchase for anyone who loves history and people who have made a difference!

My granddaughter asked for this book for Christmas. Could only find it on Amazon and the price was great.
