The Miracle Worker
Helen Keller (June 27, 1880 - June 1, 1968) - a blinded American writer, teacher and public figure. She was born a normal healthy child in the city of Dachsambia, Alabama, in a beautiful old family. At the age of 19 months after acute inflammation of the brain and stomach, Elena lost her vision and hearing, which for such a small child also meant dumbness. They wanted to write her down in the mentally retarded, but she became the first blind man who received higher education. Many years after their acquaintance, Mark Twain had reason to say: in the 19th century there were two truly great people-Napoleon and Elena Keller.
