Summary, etc Louis Braille: A Touch of Genius is a biography about the man who invented a means of reading and writing still used today in almost every country in the world, adapted to almost every known language from Albanian to Zulu. Born sighted, Louis Braille accidentally blinded himself at the age of 3. He was lucky enough to be sent to a school for blind children in Paris, one of the first in the world. There, at the age of sixteen, he worked tirelessly on a revolutionary system of finger reading that became braille. He was a talented musician, astute businessman, and genius inventor collaborating with another Frenchman to invent the first dot-matrix printer around 1840.
