(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.
