Résumé : Helen Keller, born in June 1880 in a tiny town in northern Alabama, was nineteen months old and had just begun to talk when she contracted an unnamed disease which robbed her of her sight and hearing. Through the help of family, friends, and a heroic teacher, Helen not only learned to read and write but also learned Greek, Latin, French and graduated from college. This is an inspirational story written in her own words.
Biographie : Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 - June 1, 1968) was an American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. Born in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, she lost her sight and her hearing after a bout of illness when she was 19 months old. She then communicated primarily using home signs until the age of seven, when she met her first teacher and life-long companion Anne Sullivan. Sullivan taught Keller language, including reading and writing. After an education at both specialist and mainstream schools, Keller attended Radcliffe College of Harvard University and became the first deafblind person in the United States to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.
