Diary of a Young Girl (Bengali)

Anne Frank kept a diary through the years her family spent hidden in Amsterdam, and what survives is both a record of that confinement and the writing of an adolescent becoming a writer. This Bengali edition carries the entries into a language many readers in Bangladesh will find more direct. The diary moves between cramped domestic friction, fear of discovery, and passages of startling clarity about herself and the people around her, which is why it is read as literature as well as testimony. What it brings to a collection: • Bengali translation of a primary document from the Second World War • Entries that shift between daily irritation and sustained reflection • A first-hand account of life in hiding, told by a teenager • Frequently set as school reading in history and literature Appropriate for students, history readers and anyone drawn to first-hand accounts of the period. On the Boipoka shelves.
