The Diary of a Young Girl : The Definitive Edition of the World's Most Famous Diary

The Diary of a Young Girl : The Definitive Edition of the World's Most Famous Diary - Thryft

Raw, poignant window into a hidden wartime life.

Anne's diary strikes deep chords of humanity, recounting her everyday life confined in that small annexe during the bleak times of the Holocaust. Her musings oscillate from ordinary to profound, giving this earnest recount an immediacy that—decades later—still conveys the weight of her experiences. For an intimate peek into the resilience and fragility of the human spirit under duress, turning the pages of Anne's diary feels less like reading history and more like connecting across time with a kindred soul.

Description

Information from Foreword of the associated Kindle editionThere are three main versions of the Diary: Version A, as originally written by Anne Frank; Version B, as edited by Anne Frank herself; and Version C, as edited and abridged by her father Otto Frank. Version C is the one that is best known; however, all three versions were published in The Critical Edition. This ‘Definitive Edition’ is for general readers that has been compiled by Mirjam Pressler from Version C, supplemented with approximately 30% additional material from Versions A and B as well as material from five pages that were discovered in 1998.The definitive 70th anniversary edition of The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank and edited by Otto H. Frank and Mirjam Pressler, the world's most famous diary and 'one of the greatest books of the century'.'12th June, 1942:I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.'In the summer of 1942, fleeing the horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her family were forced into hiding in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse.Aged thirteen when she went into the secret annexe, Anne kept a diary in which she confided her innermost thoughts and feelings, movingly revealing how the eight people living under these extraordinary conditions coped with the daily threat of discovery and death, being cut off from the outside world, petty misunderstandings and the unbearable strain of living like prisoners.An intimate record of tension and struggle, adolescence and confinement, anger and heartbreak, this is the definitive edition of the diary of Anne Frank.
