"Light always conquers darkness." This woman faced trials of unimaginable complexity, but at the same time, without the gift of speech and hearing, Helen Keller was able to infect millions of healthy people and millions of people with disabilities with a thirst for life and creativity. Nick Vujicic writes in his autobiography that it was Helen Keller who had the strongest influence on him. Helen Keller became the first deaf-blind person to receive a higher education, graduating with honors from Radcliffe College in 1904. It was she who became the author of the world's first book written by a person who had neither sight nor hearing. Keller wrote many books, spoke at congresses dedicated to the problems of the blind, talked in the White House with leaders of countries about government support for the Fund for Assistance to Deaf and Blind Children and Adults. The foundation was created to care for schools for deaf and blind children, shelters for the wounded who lost their sight in the war, for thousands of nameless, lonely, unhappy people who have lost light, faith and hope. I recommend watching the wonderful film "The Miracle Worker", filmed in 2000 by director Nadia Tess. For those who are glitching, here: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/jWNoN97dgOZycA There are also other screen versions of Keller's biography, black and white, and plays. If you wish, give each other links to films and books in the comments. My late mother really wanted me to study Keller's path in detail, and I did not leave the request aside - I prepared a large lecture on the exploits of this glorious woman. Enjoy watching. • The fate of the deaf-blind Helen Keller I also attach to the feed a photo of my mother's handwriting (the same request on the piece of paper to read the book "Song of the Stone Wall"). Accordingly, I immediately give a link to several books by Helen Keller, including the memoirs of this woman, and add William Gibson's play "The Miracle Worker", based on which Nadia Tess herself filmed her movie. rare books by Helen Keller: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/1tAa0hJ19PbOng Sincerely, Fedor Konstantinov
