The Diary of a Young Girl [Import] [マスマーケット]

第2次世界大戦中、ナチス・ドイツのユダヤ人迫害を受け、強制収容所で短い生涯を閉じた少女アンネ・フランク。本書は、彼女が、ナチスの手を逃れて、オランダ、アムステルダムのかくれ家に身を潜めながら書きつづった13歳から15歳までの25か月間の日記である。
私たちは、本書から、ホロコーストがどういうものであったのか、歴史の負の真実を学ばなければならない。それと同時に、私たちは、本書を読むことで、アンネという、ひとりの感受性豊かで知性と深い精神性を持った少女が、かくれ家に身を潜め、決して外に出ることはなく、常に自分たちの存在が知られることを恐れている特殊な状況にありながらも、普通の同世代の少女と同じように、いや、普通の少女たち以上に、家族を愛し、友人を愛し、恋をし、悩み、苦しみ、喜び、夢を見、希望を抱きながら生きていたことを、覚えておかなければならない。
エレノア・ルーズベルトによる前書きつき。必読の1冊。(み)

アンネは二種類の日記を残していた。自分に宛てた手紙のかたちで書いた最初の日記と、のちに公表することを期して清書した第二の日記である。没後半世紀、いまその全貌が公開される。思春期の夢と悩みを赤裸々に綴る鋭い感性と驚くべき表現力―アンネ像がぐっとふくらみました。今日からこの“完全版”が定本とされる。 --このテキストは、絶版本またはこのタイトルには設定されていない版型に関連付けられています。

A beloved classic since its initial publication in 1947, this vivid, insightful journal is a fitting memorial to the gifted Jewish teenager who died at Bergen-Belsen, Germany, in 1945. Born in 1929, Anne Frank received a blank diary on her 13th birthday, just weeks before she and her family went into hiding in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. Her marvelously detailed, engagingly personal entries chronicle 25 trying months of claustrophobic, quarrelsome intimacy with her parents, sister, a second family, and a middle-aged dentist who has little tolerance for Anne's vivacity. The diary's universal appeal stems from its riveting blend of the grubby particulars of life during wartime (scant, bad food; shabby, outgrown clothes that can't be replaced; constant fear of discovery) and candid discussion of emotions familiar to every adolescent (everyone criticizes me, no one sees my real nature, when will I be loved?). Yet Frank was no ordinary teen: the later entries reveal a sense of compassion and a spiritual depth remarkable in a girl barely 15. Her death epitomizes the madness of the Holocaust, but for the millions who meet Anne through her diary, it is also a very individual loss. --Wendy Smith

This startling new edition of Dutch Jewish teenager Anne Frank's classic diary?written in an Amsterdam warehouse, where for two years she hid from the Nazis with her family and friends?contains approximately 30% more material than the original 1947 edition. It completely revises our understanding of one of the most moving and eloquent documents of the Holocaust. The Anne we meet here is much more sarcastic, rebellious and vulnerable than the sensitive diarist beloved by millions. She rages at her mother, Edith, smolders with jealous resentment toward her sister, Margot, and unleashes acid comments at her roommates. Expanded entries provide a fuller picture of the tensions and quarrels among the eight people in hiding. Anne, who died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in March 1945, three months before her 16th birthday, candidly discusses her awakening sexuality in entries that were omitted from the 1947 edition by her father, Otto, the only one of the eight to survive the death camps. He died in 1980. This crisp, stunning translation provides an unvarnished picture of life in the "secret annex." In the end, Anne's teen angst pales beside her profound insights, her self-discovery and her unbroken faith in good triumphing over evil. Photos not seen by PW.
