Anne Frank (annotated ed)

This series profiles the distinctive individuals who through their talent, skills, intellect or charisma have made an impact on their times and influenced generations thereafter.

These individuals have influenced the course of history, often for the better, sometimes for the worse.

Each volume profiles a significant figure and presents a variety of essays that focus on that person's major contributions or notorious deeds and their place in history. As a Jew in hiding during World War II, Anne Frank wrote a diary that bears testimony to the horrors of the Holocaust.

However, readers are also fascinated with Anne Frank because of her resilient spirit and her honesty in recording her thoughts about growing into a young woman during such trying times.

This anthology on the famous diarist examines not only Anne's written work, but also her skills as a writer, her adolescent development and the legacy she left behind.
