The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition

Best

Might be the definitive edition which was unexpurgated and compiled. The Life of Anne Frank served as the bleak tragedy of the little girl and his family from childhood to hell....

It is astonishing that a teenage girl can think in such a matured way. It is heart touching, painful to read how the innocent people suffered during the Holocaust. Couldn't hold my tears as the WW-II has nipped away so many buds, without a chance to flower. I fell in love with Anne Frank for her strength of mind, boldness, truthfulness, sense of humor and hope in humanity amidst the horrible situations she was in. Loved this diary with all my heart and soul.

Amazing book, you'll love it but the amount of spelling mistakes is really jarring and definitely breaks the immersion. It's hard to believe that an editor read this book, and was like, "yep, this is quality." GenNext publishers did a terrible job with it.

Top notch quality

Package was awesome Book is great Delivery was amazing

Poor quality. It’s a fake, photocopied. The front page is clearly a photocopy of a book that’s been used. At the edges you can see tearing and print being rubbed off - when in fact the page is not torn and print is intact.

Arrived in a very bad condition, looks like used. Really a shame!

Anne Frank - The Diary of a Young Girl - Penguin Classics - 6 Oct 2025 I first learned all about Anne Frank when I went to my new school Neilston Primary School, the 4th Primary School I attended (I moved around Glasgow, Paisley, Barrhead and Neilston a few times in my childhood.) What I recall was being left behind as the rest of my class went on a trip to Amsterdam to visit the Annexe (the attic Anne hid in with others) and go to a waterpark. I really hated not being able to go. Later on I watched a few movies called The Diary of Anne Frank and I always remembered the Jewish teenage girl hiding in the attic from the Nazis in Amsterdam in the back of my mind. But I never got around to reading the diary she wrote for over two years in hiding from the age 13 to the age 15. I didn't know what would be in store for me reading a teenage girl's diary but how the book was written, young and old Jews under hiding from Nazis in Amsterdam during the war, led me to believe it would be a worthwhile read. I wasn't disappointed. This book is a classic for a reason. It's a museum in words with people, time and place immortalised in the mind of the reader with a vivid excellence through use of writing applied by the young Anne. The Diary took me through months on end of entries and I knew in the end these diary entries would come to an end and also so would the young Anne Frank. Anne received the book she would pen her diary in as a gift on her 13th birthday. The book starts with descriptions of what I believe was the 12 year old Anne living in Amsterdam happily in freedom with lots of friends, admirers and a perfect family life. Her family is her father Otto Frank, her mother Edith Frank, her older teenage sister Margot Frank and the youngest being Anne Frank. One day her father (who she later explains she loves more than her mother when in the Annexe a while) tells the family they must go into hiding from the Natzis occupying Europe. Then they go into hiding and are there in this same space for two years as Anne perfectly writes the details of the goings on of their secret hiding place with the fake bookcase on the wall that swung open and shut and hid the entrance. She writes how she is interested in sex and pines for nature saying it's the little nature things that make you happy. Anne loves cats and names her diary Kitty. She doesn't know if she'll live or die but she thinks about the future and says she would travel and have money. They get their news and entertainment from the radio and they have their arguments and dislikings. They spend their days studying, reading and cooking. With a sweet young love affair between Anne and a little older Peter developing. The diary of a young girl shows Anne Frank grow and come of age and independence over two years only be it on one spot. But it also gives a voice to victims and survivors of the Holocaust making people not forget those innocent souls robbed, tortured and slaughtered by cynical, violent and uncaring politics. I would give Anne Frank and her The Diary of a Young Girl 5 stars out of 5 for sheer readability and probably rereadability. It's just a Young Girls Diary but it's an epic read that remains a classic in literature.

Absolute classic

Um lixo de produto! Absurdamente caro, entrega demorada, péssima qualidade e ainda veio todo amassado! Não quero isso! Façam o estorno, por favor!

Anne writes during her time in hiding about her feelings, her family and others. She grows up in hiding and draws insight from those around her. A strong willed and intelligent young teenage girl, a pleasure to read even knowing their fateful outcome.
