The Diary as Anne Frank wrote it.
Francine Prose is the author of the novels "A Changed Man "and "Blue Angel, " which was a finalist for the National Book Award, the guide "Reading Like a Writer, "and " Anne Frank : The Book, the Life, the Afterlife.".
Her family moved to Amsterdam in 1933, and she died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.
About author(s): Anne Frank was born in 1929 in Germany.
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.
A timeless story discovered by each new generation, " The Diary of a Young Girl " stands without peer.
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.
This is Anne\'s record of that time.
Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation forces, hid in the back of an Amsterdam office building for two years.
The elder Frank excised details about Anne\'s emerging sexuality, and about the often-stormy relations between Anne and her mother.
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.
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.
Anne Frank \'s " The Diary of a Young Girl " is among the most enduring documents of the twentieth century.
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.
