Out of Darkness, the Story of Louis Braille by Russel Freedman, 1997 Clarion Books.I confess that I scoured the copyright page of this book: it couldn't have been written in 1997, I kept thinking. I was wrong. It was written in 1997. And yet... it reads beautifully, like a pre-1950s book would read! Actually, we borrowed it in audio format and did not see the illustrated hardcover edition until today.
The story of the little boy who, due to an unfortunate accident, lost his sight and went on the change the world for blind people for ever is a moving one. It is in fact a very beautiful the story of a man who gave completely of himself to his Neighbor, in profound humility, great faith and through very hard work and setbacks.
Don't miss it!
