Publisher Description
The remarkable and shocking true account of the kidnap of Natascha Kampusch in 1998, who shares her deeply moving story.
On 2 March 1998 ten-year-old Natascha Kampusch was snatched off the street by a stranger and bundled into a white van. When she emerged from her prison eight years later, her childhood had gone.
In 3,096 Days Natascha tells her incredible story for the first time: her difficult childhood, the day of her abduction, her imprisonment in a five-square-metre dungeon, and the mental and physical abuse she suffered from her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil.
A story about the triumph of the human spirit, 3,096 Days describes how, in a situation of almost unbearable hopelessness, she learned how to manipulate her captor and, against inconceivable odds, she managed to escape unbroken.
'A brilliantly insightful dissection of her years in captivity' Jon Ronson, Guardian
'An excellent book' Kathryn Hughes, Mail on Sunday
'Remarkable - not just for Kampusch's account of her ordeal but as a testament to her indomitable spirit' Daisy Goodwin, Sunday Times
Customer Reviews
a bit disappointed
she is such an inspiration and can’t even imagine what she’s been through but in terms of the book there was nothing to read that we didn’t already know if that makes sense
A personal tale
A heart rendering tale, of pain, heartache and trying to dig into the psyche of a person who feels they allow can control anothers life to such a complete point. Very well written, even though english is not her first language. Good luck to her, a very good example of others not being able to tell you how to feel about personal situations!
Brilliant
This book was amazing. What this girl went through was staggering, cruel and frightening. When she made her dash for freedom, I slammed my I Pad shut but then had to continue a few minutes later as it was so moving. This is well worth a read for any serious readers.
