The Diary, by Anne Frank (1948).
Description:
Anne
Frank's extraordinary diary, written in the Amsterdam attic where she and her
family hid from the Nazis for two years, has become a world classic and a
timeless testament to the human spirit. Now, in a new edition enriched by many
passages originally withheld by her father, we meet an Anne more real, more
human, and more vital than ever. Here she is first and foremost a teenage
girl—stubbornly honest, touchingly vulnerable, in love with life. She imparts
her deeply secret world of soul-searching and hungering for affection,
rebellious clashes with her mother, romance and newly discovered sexuality, and
wry, candid observations of her companions. Facing hunger, fear of discovery
and death, and the petty frustrations of such confined quarters, Anne writes
with adult wisdom and views beyond her years. Her story is that of every
teenager, lived out in conditions few teenagers have ever known.
