Summary: "The World I Live In" by Helen Keller is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. In this work, Keller shares her profound reflections on life, drawing on her experiences as a deaf-blind individual.

At the start of this memoir, Keller introduces her audience to the significance of touch in her life, describing the tactile sensations that shape her understanding of the world around her.
