The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition

Anne Frank

For almost fifty years, Anne Frank's diary has moved millions with its testament to the human spirit's indestructibility, but readers have never seen the full text of this beloved book--until now. This new translation, performed by Winona Ryder, restores nearly one third of Anne's entries excised by her father in previous editions, revealing her burgeoning sexuality, her stormy relationship with her mother, and more.

Praise for this book

"A truly remarkable book."
--The New York Times

"One of the most moving personal documents to come out of World War II."
--The Philadelphia Inquirer

"The new edition reveals a new depth to Anne's dreams, irritations, hardship, and passions. . . . There may be no better way to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II than to reread The Diary of a Young Girl, a testament to an indestructible nobility of spirit in the face of pure evil."
--Chicago Tribune

"The single most compelling personal account of the Holocaust . . . remains astonishing and excruciating."
--The New York Times Book Review

"How brilliantly Anne Frank captures the self-conscious alienation and naïve self-absorption of adolescence."
--Newsday
