About this book

Español

Un milagro para Helen

La historia de Helen Keller y Anne Sullivan dio la vuelta al mundo. En 1882, con apenas dos años, Helen quedó ciega y sorda. Hundida en su oscuridad, creció como una niña salvaje y caprichosa. Sus padres, desesperados, buscaron a alguien que les ayudara a educarla. Esa persona fue Anne Sullivan, una maestra que supo encontrar una forma de comunicarse con la niña a través del alfabeto manual, que consiste en formar letras con los dedos en la palma de la mano de la otra persona. Helen aprendió poco a poco los nombres de las cosas, y a partir de ese momento su vida cambió radicalmente. Las ilustraciones de Ana Juan introducen al lector en el mundo de tinieblas en el que vive la protagonista. En ellas destaca el uso magistral de la metáfora visual para trasmitir el miedo, la soledad y la frustración, pero también la fuerza interna de los personajes, inmersos en un entorno que gana en detalle y estímulos sensoriales a través de la línea y el color.

English

A Miracle for Helen

The story of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan went around the world. In 1882, at the age of two, Helen was blind and deaf. Sinking into her darkness, she grew up as a wild and capricious child. Her parents, in desperation, looked for someone to help them educate her. That person was Anne Sullivan, a teacher who knew how to find a way to communicate with the child through the manual alphabet, which consists of forming letters with the fingers in the palm of the other person's hand. Helen gradually learned the names of things and from that moment on her life changed radically. Ana Juan's illustrations introduce the reader to the world of darkness in which the protagonist lives. They highlight the masterful use of visual metaphor to convey fear, loneliness and frustration, but also the inner strength of the characters, immersed in an environment that gains in detail and sensory stimuli through line and color.
