Helen Keller
The Story of My Life
Paperback
(Forgotten Books June 29, 2012)
The task of writing an autobiography is a difficult one. When I try to classify my earliest impressions I find that fact and fancy look alike across the years that link the past with the present. The woman paints the childs experiences in her own fantasy. A few impressions stand out vividly from the first years of my life; but the shadows of the prisonhouse are on the rest. Besides, many of the joys and sorrows of childhood have lost their poignancy; and many incidents of vital importance in my early education have been forgotten in the excitement of great discoveries. In order, therefore, not to be tedious I shall try to present in a series of sketches only the episodes that seem to me to be the most interesting and important. I was bom on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, a little town of northern A labama. The family on my fathers side is descended from Caspar Keller, a native of Switzerland, who settled in Maryland.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
