'One of the greatest books of the [last] century' - Guardian
A deeply moving and unforgettable portrait of an ordinary and yet an extraordinary teenage girl.
First published over sixty years ago, Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl has reached millions of young people throughout the world.
In July 1942, thirteen-year-old Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the occupation, went into hiding in an Amsterdam warehouse. Over the next two years Anne vividly describes in her diary the frustrations of living in such close quarters, and her thoughts, feelings and longings as she grows up. Her diary ends abruptly when, in August 1944, they were all betrayed.
Since its publication in 1947, The Diary of a Young Girl has been read by tens of millions of people, now reissued with a fresh new cover to mark what would have been Anne Frank's 90th birthday in June 2019.
THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK IS 'A MONUMENT TO THE HUMAN SPIRIT' One of
the most famous accounts of living under the Nazi regime comes from
the diary of a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl, Anne Frank. Edited by
her father Otto H. Frank and German novelist Mirjam Pressler, this
is a true story to be rediscovered by each new generation.
_________________________________ 12th July 1944: 'It's difficult
in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within
us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't
abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I
cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that
people are truly good at heart.' In the summer of 1942, fleeing the
horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her family were
forced into hiding in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse. Aged
thirteen, Anne kept a diary of her time in the secret annexe. She
movingly revealed how the eight people living under these
extraordinary conditions coped with hunger, the daily threat of
discovery and death and isolation from the outside world. A
thought-provoking record of tension and struggle, adolescence and
confinement, anger and heartbreak, the diary of Anne Frank is a
testament to the atrocities of the past and a promise they will
never be forgotten. _________________________________ 'One of the

Die agterhuis, oftewel die dagboek van Anne Frank, is een van die mees gelese boeke in die wêreld. Hierin vertel die tienderjarige Anne die aangrypende verhaal van die Joodse gesin Frank se lotgevalle toe hulle tydens die Tweede Wêreldoorlog in Amsterdam vir die Duitse besetters moes wegkruip. Anne het die dagboek op 12 Junie 1942, haar dertiende verjaardag, present gekry. In die volgende maand, toe die vervolging van Jode ook in Nederland te erg raak, soek die Frank-gesin saam met ander ’n Joodse gesin skuiling in kamers agter die kantore van die onderneming waar Otto Frank gewerk het. In haar dagboek skryf Anne neer wat die gesin ervaar, sy lewer kommentaar op die dikwels gespanne verhoudings tussen die lede van die twee gesinne in die beknopte omstandighede en sy doen ook verslag oor die gewaarwordinge en gevoelens van ’n jong meisie in uiters moeilike omstandighede. Die dagboekinskrywings word in Augustus 1944 gestaak toe die “skuilgangers” aan die Nazi’s verraai is en almal na Duitse konsentrasiekampe gestuur is. Otto Frank het die konsentrasiekamp oorleef, Anne se dagboek weer opgespoor en dit laat publiseer. Sedertdien is dit uit Nederlands in vele tale vertaal en is nou ook in Afrikaans beskikbaar.

June, 1942: I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as
I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be

fleeing the horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her
family were forced into hiding in the back of an Amsterdam
warehouse. Aged thirteen when she went into the secret annexe, Anne
Frank kept a diary in which she confided her innermost thoughts and
feelings, movingly revealing how the eight people living under
these extraordinary conditions coped with the daily threat of
discovery and death. Adapted by Ari Folman, illustrated by David
Polonsky, and authorized by the Anne Frank Foundation in Basel,
this is the first graphic edition of the beloved diary of Anne
Frank. 'Faithful to the spirit and often the language of the
diary... Mr Polonsky's beautiful artwork offers a charming and
convincing view of Anne on the page' THE ECONOMIST 'Folman and
Polonsky have reclaimed Anne Frank in all of her humanity, and they
allow us to witness for ourselves her beauty, courage, vision and
imagination. And, in doing so, they have elevated the tools of the
comic book to create an astonishing work of art.' JEWISH JOURNAL

Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl is among the most enduring documents of the twentieth century. Since its publication in 1947, it has been read by tens of millions of people all over the world. It remains a beloved and deeply admired testament to the indestructible nature of the human spirit. Restored in this Definitive Edition are diary entries that were omitted from the original edition. These passages, which constitute 30 percent more material, reinforce the fact that Anne was first and foremost a teenage girl, not a remote and flawless symbol. She fretted about and tried to cope with her own sexuality. Like many young girls, she often found herself in disagreements with her mother. And like any teenager, she veered between the carefree nature of a child and the full-fledged sorrow of an adult. Anne emerges more human, more vulnerable and more vital than ever.
Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation, hid in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse for two years. She was thirteen when she went into the Secret Annex with her family.
In this controversial and provocative book, Mary Anne Franks
examines the thin line between constitutional fidelity and
constitutional fundamentalism. The Cult of the Constitution reveals
how deep fundamentalist strains in both conservative and liberal
American thought keep the Constitution in the service of white male
supremacy. Constitutional fundamentalists read the Constitution
selectively and self-servingly. Fundamentalist interpretations of
the Constitution elevate certain constitutional rights above all
others, benefit the most powerful members of society, and undermine
the integrity of the document as a whole. The conservative fetish
for the Second Amendment (enforced by groups such as the NRA)
provides an obvious example of constitutional fundamentalism; the
liberal fetish for the First Amendment (enforced by groups such as
the ACLU) is less obvious but no less influential. Economic and
civil libertarianism have increasingly merged to produce a
deregulatory, "free-market" approach to constitutional rights that
achieves fullest expression in the idealization of the Internet.
The worship of guns, speech, and the Internet in the name of the
Constitution has blurred the boundaries between conduct and speech
and between veneration and violence. But the Constitution itself
contains the antidote to fundamentalism. The Cult of the
Constitution lays bare the dark, antidemocratic consequences of
constitutional fundamentalism and urges readers to take the
Constitution seriously, not selectively.

The candid, poignant, unforgettable writing of the young girl whose own life story has become an everlasting source of courage and inspiration.
Hiding from the Nazis in the “Secret Annex” of an old office building in Amsterdam, a thirteen-year-old girl named Anne Frank became a writer. The now famous diary of her private life and thoughts reveals only part of Anne’s story, however. This book rounds out the portrait of this remarkable and talented young author.
Newly translated, complete, and restored to the original order in which Anne herself wrote them in her notebook, Tales from the Secret Annex is a collection of Anne Frank’s lesser-known writings: short stories, fables, personal reminiscences, and an unfinished novel, Cady’s Life.

Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl is an inspiring and tragic
account of an ordinary life lived in extraordinary circumstances
that has enthralled readers for generations. This Penguin Classics
edition is edited by Otto H. Frank and Mirjam Pressler, translated
by Susan Massotty, and includes an introduction by Elie Wiesel,
author of Night. 'June, 1942: I hope I will be able to confide
everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone,
and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.' In
Amsterdam, in the summer of 1942, the Nazis forced teenager Anne
Frank and her family into hiding. For over two years, they, another
family and a German dentist lived in a 'secret annexe', fearing
discovery. All that time, Anne kept a diary. Since its publication
in 1947, Anne Frank's diary has been read by tens of millions of
people. This Definitive Edition restores substantial material
omitted from the original edition, giving us a deeper insight into
Anne Frank's world. Her curiosity about her emerging sexuality, the
conflicts with her mother, her passion for Peter, a boy whose
family hid with hers, and her acute portraits of her fellow
prisoners reveal Anne as more human, more vulnerable and more vital
than ever. 'One of the greatest books of the twentieth century'
Guardian 'A modern classic' Julia Neuberger, The Times
Anne Frank is known worldwide for her moving and powerful Diary
written whilst hiding from the Nazis. Less well known are these
stories, fables, personal reminiscences and an unfinished novel -
now re-issued after being out of print for many years. Her humour,
unflinching honesty and her wisdom - all evident in The Diary of
Anne Frank - are equally present in these Tales, rendering it an
essential part of her legacy.
Anne Frank's diary is one of the most recognised and widely read
books of the Second World War. Hundreds of thousands of people
visit the Anne Frank House on the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam each
year to see the annexe where Anne and her family hid from the
occupying forces, before eventually being deported to Auschwitz in
1944. Only Anne's father, Otto, survived the Holocaust. Anne Frank:
The Collected Works includes each of the versions of Anne's
world-famous diary including the 'A' and 'B' diaries now in
continuous, readable form, and the definitive text ('D') edited by
renowned translator and author Mirjam Pressler. For the first time
readers have access to Anne's letters, personal reminiscences,
daydreams, essays and notebook of favourite quotes. Also included
are background essays by notable writers such as historian Gerhard
Hirschfeld (University of Stuttgart) and Francine Prose (Bard
College) on topics such as `Anne Frank's Life', `The History of the
Frank Family' and `The Publication History of Anne Frank's diary',
as well as numerous photographs of the Franks and the other
occupants of the annexe. An essential book for scholars and general
readers alike, The Collected Works brings together for the first
time Anne Frank's complete writings, together with important images
and documents. Supported by the Anne Frank Fonds in Basel,
Switzerland, set up by Otto Frank to act as the guardian of Anne's
work, this is a landmark publication marking the anniversary of 90
years since Anne's birth in 1929.
The diary as Anne Frank wrote it. 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. Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl is among the most enduring documents of the twentieth century. 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. 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. The elder Frank excised details about Anne's emerging sexuality, and about the often-stormy relations between Anne and her mother. Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation forces, hid in the back of an Amsterdam office building for two years. This is Anne's record of that time. 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. A timeless story discovered by each new generation, The Diary of a Young Girl stands without peer. 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.
