The World I Live in and Optimism: A Collection of Essays Keller HelenPaperback
These poetic, inspiring essays offer insights into the world of a gifted woman who was deaf and blind. These brief articles include The Seeing Hand, The Hands of Others, The Power of Touch, The Finer Vibrations, Smell, the Fallen Angel Inward Visions, and other essays. Helen Keller relates her impressions of life's beauty and promise, perceived through the sensations of touch, smell, and vibration, together with the workings of a powerful imagination.The World I Live In comprises fifteen essays and a poem, A Chant of Darkness, all of which originally appeared in The Century Magazine.
These essays reflect the author's remarkable achievements, as expressed in her honorary degree from Harvard, the first ever granted to a woman: From a Optimism, written while Keller was a college student, offers eloquent observations on acquiring and maintaining a sense of happiness.
