The Diary of a Young Girl
Frank, Anne
Synopsis "The Diary of a Young Girl"
The diary as Anne Frank wrote it. At last, in a new translation, this definitive edition contains entries about Anne's burgeoning sexuality and confrontations with her mother that were cut from previous editions. Anne Frank's "The Diary of a Young Girl" is among the most enduring documents of the twentieth century. Since its publication in 1947, it has been a beloved and deeply admired monument to the indestructible nature of the human spirit, read by millions of people and translated into more than fifty-five languages. Doubleday, which published the first English translation of the diary in 1952, now offers a new translation that captures Anne's youthful spirit and restores the original material omitted by Anne's father, Otto -- approximately thirty percent of the diary. The elder Frank excised details about Anne's emerging sexuality, and about the often-stormy relations between Anne and her mother. Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation forces, hid in the back of an Amsterdam office building for two years. This is Anne's record of that time. She was thirteen when the family went into the "Secret Annex," and in these pages, she grows to be a young woman and proves to be an insightful observer of human nature as well. A timeless story discovered by each new generation, "The Diary of a Young Girl" stands without peer. For young readers and adults, it continues to bring to life this young woman, who for a time survived the worst horrors the modern world had seen -- and who remained triumphantly and heartbreakingly human throughout her ordeal.
Annelies Marie Frank, conocida en español como Ana Frank (Fráncfort del Meno, 12 de junio de 1929-Bergen-Belsen, febrero o marzo de 1945), fue una niña alemana con ascendencia judía, mundialmente conocida gracias al Diario de Ana Frank, la edición de su diario íntimo en donde dejó constancia de los casi dos años y medio que pasó ocultándose de los nazis en Ámsterdam, con su familia y cuatro personas más, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Una vez fueron descubiertos en su escondite, Ana y su familia fueron capturados y llevados a distintos campos de concentración alemanes. El único superviviente de los ocho escondidos fue Otto Frank, su padre. Ana fue enviada al campo de concentración nazi de Auschwitz el 2 de septiembre de 1944 y, más tarde, al de Bergen-Belsen, donde murió de tifus alrededor de mediados de febrero de 1945, unos dos meses antes de que el campo fuera liberado. En 1947, apenas dos años después de terminada la guerra, su padre publicó el diario bajo el título La casa de atrás (en neerlandés, Het Achterhuis).
