Three Days to See
海倫？凱勒 / Helen Keller
海倫？凱勒（1880—1968），美國著名殘疾人作家、教育家，生於美國亞拉巴馬州。兩歲時，一場疾病使她變成了盲、聾、啞人。後來，她的父母請來家庭教師莎莉文女士對其進行特殊教育。同時，凱勒通過自身頑強的努力，於1904年畢業於麻省波士頓的拉德克利夫學院。後來，凱勒專職於寫作和殘疾人教育事業。她一生共寫了19本書，其中《我生活的故事》最為著名。
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year； sometimes as short as twenty-four hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak， of course， of free men who have a choice， not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.
