Anne Frank's Tales from the Secret Annex by Anne Frank

Anne Frank's Tales from the Secret Annex by Anne Frank

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.

Ana Frank nacio en Frankfurt, en junio de 1929. Con su hermana y sus padres emigro a Holanda en 1933. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la familia Frank formo parte de los miles de judios que tuvieron que huir o esconderse de la persecucion nazi. Los Frank y otras cuatro personas se escondieron durante dos anos en el anexo de una casa, al que Ana llamaba el Anexo secreto, y la jovencita aprovecho ese periodo de encierro, entre sus trece y quince anos, para escribir un hermoso e impresionante diario que la situo como una gran escritora a pesar de su juventud. En agosto de 1944, el cuerpo de policia (Feld-Polizei) descubrio el Anexo, entro en el y detuvo a todos sus habitantes. Fueron deportados a campos de concentracion y Ana Frank murio en Bergen-Belsen, en 1945. Faltaban dos meses para que Holanda fuera liberada. Su diario, encontrado en 1946, dio la vuelta al mundo. En el expresa su amor por la vida y una gran capacidad literaria de reflexion, observacion, humor e inteligencia. / Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt in June 1929.
