### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An autobiography of a great writer who is also blind
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2021*

This is a wonderful book, one that is unique in the autobiographical literature.  The reader follows the young blind student as he struggles to gain admittance to Pomona and then on to Oxford and Harvard.  The author provides an intimate look into his emotions as he struggles to succeed in a "seeing world".  An unusually compelling read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    the most astonishing autobiography I ever read
  

*by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2001*

This book is one volume in a series of books that form the autobiography of Ved Mehta. Mehta started with two biographies of his mother and father (Mamaji and Daddyji) and then started to write about his own life. It's an astonishing, deeply moving story of a boy gone blind at a very early age, who goes to America to study, and later to England (Oxford) and Harvard, to become a staff writer for The New Yorker.  It's a shame and a disgrace that most of these books are out of print, because I consider them as Great Literature. He not only tells his own life, he also gives you insight into different cultures (starting with the lives of his mother and father, who had a totally different background, then the separation of India and Pakistan, then the difference between East and West, and finally between America and Europe).  Warning: If you read one part of his autobiography, you'll want to read them all!

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Seeing
  

*by U***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2015*

The seeing world cannot know what the blind experience.Stolen Light, Mehta's journal/ journey is a helpful, insightful glance into his world.
