Souborné vydání

The publication contains all the texts of Anne Frank that are still known, i.e. mainly all versions of the diary, short stories, an attempt at a novel, surviving correspondence, extracts from favourite books and the so-called book on Egypt. The volume is supplemented by a rich photographic appendix. The collected edition has so far been published in only four world languages (German, Dutch, English and French). The Czech version is taken from the Dutch original, published by Prometheus in 2013 (712 pages), translated by Magda de Bruin Hüblová.

The book also includes three scholarly essays which, in a comprehensible way, introduce the interested reader to the historical context of Anna's life and the lives of the families who hid from the threat of Nazism. The volume also includes a contribution on the history of the publication of the diary and Anna's work, on the responses to the diary and the denialist attacks on its authenticity, as well as a detailed inventory of the literature on the subject, which is enriched with Czech sources. Beyond the original, the Czech edition provides explanatory notes and insights from recent research activities on Anne Frank's texts and biography.
