Publisher Description
Among the most powerful accounts of the Nazi occupation, "The Diary of Anne Frank" chronicles the life of Anne Frank, a thirteen-year old girl fleeing her home in Amsterdam to go into hiding. Anne reveals the relationships between eight people living under miserable conditions: facing hunger, threat of discovery and the worst horrors the modern world had seen. In these pages, she grows up to be a young woman and a wise observer of human nature. She shares an unparalleled bond with her diary, which holds a detailed account of Anne's close relationship with her father, the lack of daughterly love for her mother, admiration for her sister's intelligence and closeness with her friend Peter. Anne Frank's account offers a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman who turns thoughtful and learns of the many terrors of the world.
Customer Reviews
Some people shouldn’t write reviews.
I really enjoyed reading the Diary of Anne Frank. Knowing the outcome that Anne Frank and her family were murdered or died of disease, made it difficult reading to the end.
This book is a DIARY written by a teenage girl, who lived under stress of being confined for years in a back room of a building in Amsterdam, yes there will be errors, yes there are typo’s BUT that’s they way she wrote. Some people just shouldn’t write a review, this book is a DIARY not a NOVEL, don’t change history.
Brilliant hopeful, and a tragic end
Phenominal book she had so much hope for such horrific conditions. She spoke with such brilliant articulation for a girl her age. What ends up happening to her is truly tragic but her text and dream will always live on because of her diary and she has become an icon of what was lost in the tragedy of the holocaust. I actually felt like ‘kitty’ I felt like I was her friend that was confiding to me and she told me everything with such truth and great detail. She even reminds me so much of my relationship with my parents and it actually made me ponder over my life and her outlook on hers. Even with the pressure cooker of stress she still laughed and brought joy, she had the strength to cry and vent and had the hope for a future where she could go out side, meet her friends, and become an author. I was also amazed by her transition between how she idolized her father to viewing herself as independent her letter of declaration towards her father is very powerful and I relate to it a lot. Its such a pivotal time in her life the transition from adolsence to teenage and adult years and she articulated her experiences so well with rawunfiltered perspective.
