Synopsis

The Miracle Worker is a play written by William Gibson in 1957, based on the true story of Helen Keller, a young girl who was deaf and blind from infancy. The play focuses on the relationship between Helen and her teacher, Annie Sullivan, who was hired by Helen's family to help her learn to communicate.The Miracle Worker was first adapted into a film in 1962, and has since been adapted into multiple stage productions and television movies. This particular book, however, is not the original play script, but rather a novelization of the story written by Gerald Maxwell in 1907.Maxwell's novelization follows the same basic plot as Gibson's play, but is written in a more traditional novel format with prose and descriptive passages. The story begins with Annie Sullivan arriving at the Keller family's home to begin teaching Helen. Despite initial resistance from both Helen and her family, Annie is determined to help Helen learn to communicate and become more independent.Through a combination of patience, persistence, and unconventional teaching methods, Annie is eventually able to break through to Helen and help her understand the world around her. Along the way, the two form a deep bond and become lifelong friends.Overall, The Miracle Worker (1907) by Gerald Maxwell is a heartwarming and inspiring story of perseverance, friendship, and the power of education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
