海倫.凱勒
海倫凱勒是一個聾啞盲人。她的故事早於19世紀末就在美國出版了,並獲得了巨大成功,在美國成爲了最經典的文學傳記類作品之一。我們早在第一輯裏就擬定出版此書。現在放在第四輯裏出版。出版的內容包括其最著名的《我的故事》,此次還出版了她的老師沙利文老師與外界的全部通信,同時也出版了她所寫的全部信件。
Helen Keller's story tells us that hard work never goes in vain and it also tells us it's ok to be not ok. The strength of one's hard work is beyond our imagination. So never give up and keep working hard at what you are dreaming of. If you are not familiar with Helen, I suggest you should read the books written by her. I'm suer you won't regret.
When the time of daisies and buttercups came Miss Sullivan took me by the hand across the fields, where men were preparing the earth for the seed, to the banks of the Tennessee River, and there, sitting on the warm grass, I had my first lessons in the beneficence of nature. I learned how the sun and the rain make to grow out of the ground every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, how birds build their nests and live and thrive from land to land, how the squirrel, the deer, the lion and every other creature finds food and shelter. As my knowledge of things grew I felt more and more the delight of the world I was in. Long before I learned to do a sum in arithmetic or describe the shape of the earth, Miss Sullivan had taught me to find beauty in the fragrant woods, in every blade of grass, and in the curves and dimples of my baby sister's hand. She linked my earliest thoughts with nature, and made me feel that "birds and flowers and I were happy peers." By Helen Keller
