The Diary of a Young Girl

The Diary of a Young Girl

The diary as Anne Frank wrote it. At last, in aÂ Â new translation, this definitive edition containsÂ Â entries about Anne's burgeoning sexuality andÂ Â confrontations with her mother that were cut fromÂ Â previous editions. Anne Frank's The Diary of aÂ Â Young Girl is among the most enduringÂ Â documents of the twentieth century. Since itsÂ Â publication in 1947, it has been a beloved and deeplyÂ Â admired monument to the indestructible nature of theÂ Â human spirit, read by millions of people andÂ Â translated into more than fifty-five languages.Â Â Doubleday, which published the first English translationÂ Â of the diary in 1952, now offers a new translationÂ Â that captures Anne's youthful spirit and restoresÂ Â the original material omitted by Anne's father,Â Â Otto -- approximately thirty percent of the diary.Â Â The elder Frank excised details about Anne'sÂ Â emerging sexuality, and about the often-stormy relationsÂ Â between Anne and her mother. Anne Frank and herÂ Â family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupationÂ Â forces, hid in the back of an Amsterdam office buildingÂ Â for two years. This is Anne's record of that time.Â Â She was thirteen when the family went into theÂ Â "Secret Annex," and in these pages, she growsÂ Â to be a young woman and proves to be an insightfulÂ Â observer of human nature as well. A timeless storyÂ Â discovered by each new generation, TheÂ Â Diary of a Young Girl stands without peer.Â Â For young readers and adults, it continues toÂ Â bring to life this young woman, who for a timeÂ Â survived the worst horrors the modern world had seen -- andÂ Â who remained triumphantly and heartbreakinglyÂ Â human throughout her ordeal.
