Kurzbeschreibung
My Left Foot is Christy Brown’s inspirational story of his early life, his battle against the restraints of cerebral palsy and his struggle to learn to read, write and paint, all with the aid of his left foot.
Synopsis
Christy Brown was born a victim of cerebral palsy. But the hapless, lolling baby concealed the brilliantly imaginative and sensitive mind of a writer who would take his place among the giants of Irish literature. This is Christy Brown's own story. He recounts his childhood struggle to learn to read, write, paint and finally type, with the toe of his left foot. In this manner he wrote his bestseller "Down all the Days".

A stunning story that really causes a shiver down the spine!
By writing an autobiography ,christy brown was able to express his feelings,emotions and sorrows because he wasn't able to do so with his body,
He brilliantly "worded" his feelings by describing in detail how he managed to master his difficult life from his childhood on.
By learning how to write with his left foot he found a way out of his disabled body ,into to the outside world.Eventhoug he was limited in his physical abilities, he wasn't in his mental ones.

This autobiography is, of course, about the author's life but also about his hopes, dreams and all the difficulties he had to deal with his affliction. To my mind, Christy Brown is a fighter although some chapters make him look a bit manic-depressive. It's a peculiar and special story and definitely not a book for everyone.

This book is great reading
25. September 1996
"My Left Foot" is about a young man, born in 1932 to a Dublin bricklayer, with cerebral palsy who cannot even control his limbs let alone write his own autobiography. He starts off with his childhood: his relatives and doctors are telling his mother that he will amount to nothing; he was a moron. But his mother never gives up on him, for she knew that inside his useless body was a very capable mind. She teaches him to write with his left foot. By the time he's five years old, he knows his whole alphabet! He goes on and tells about his life growing up with twelve other siblings. He speaks of how the startling realization, that he was not like everyone else, changed his life. And he finishes with how he finds inside himself what he had all along. Christy Brown really shows his talent for writing in "My Left Foot". He tells his story without ever being depressing and sulky and there are parts that will just make you laugh out loud, especially when he talks about his first attempts at writing his autobiography.
The movie is also great; Daniel Day-Lewis, in his Oscar winning role, is excellent. It gave the book the recognition it deserved as being a great piece of classic literature

" Breathtaking!!"
14. Februar 2003
The book "My Left Foot", was one of the best books I have read. It tells the life story of Christy Brown and how he still lived his life while his little body was twisted with a disease. I found it very touching at times and it made me happy to when he would over come bumps in his life. When he first made the letter "A" I was smiling from ear to ear.
I would recommend this book to for anyone to read, especially to a mother with a disabled child. It really proves that no matter who you are, you can do anything you put your mind to.
I can't wait to see the movie!

This book is fantastic!

This book is truly enlightening. Through this book, Brown shows the world through the eyes of a cerebal palsic person, with ease and giving the reader time to think about how lucky they are. I would like to be able to contact Brown if he is still alive.
