Overview
María Hesse despliega su estilo inconfundible y su trazo más sensible para ilustrar uno de los grandes clásicos de la literatura universal
«Sus ilustraciones no te sueltan y a la vez te protegen de tus miedos». —Susana Santaolalla, RNE, Libros de Arena
Anne Frank nació en una familia judía alemana y llevó una vida normal hasta que el ascenso del nacionalsocialismo obligó a su familia a emigrar a Ámsterdam. Tan solo unos años después, los nazis llegan a Holanda y Anne se oculta junto a su familia y cuatro refugiados más en una buhardilla.
Nunca más volvería a vivir en libertad. Entre 1942 y 1944, la pequeña Anne escribió su célebre y estremecedor Diario, un testimonio único sobre el horror y la barbarie, al tiempo que un conmovedor retrato de las experiencias y sentimientos de una niña de trece años que escribe para tratar de escapar de su propia realidad.
Anne murió en el campo de Bergen-Belsen en marzo de 1945, pero permanece con nosotros su Diario, ilustrado en esta ocasión por María Hesse, que, con la característica sensibilidad, simbolismo y ternura de «una de las ilustradoras con más personalidad que hay ahora mismo en España» (Onda Cero), nos brinda bajo una nueva luz este icónico y desgarrador escrito.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
80th ANNIVERSARY OF THE END OF WORLD WAR II.
María Hesse displays her unique style and her most sensitive strokes to illustrate one of the greatest classics in world literature.
“Her illustrations get a hold of you and protect you from fear at the same time.”
Susana Santaolalla, RNE, Libros de Arena
Anne Frank was born in a German Jewish family and led a normal life until the ascent of National Socialism forced her family to migrate to Amsterdam. Only a few years later, the Nazis reached Holland and Anne went into hiding, living in an attic with her family and four other refugees.
She would never live free again. Between 1942 and 1944, little Anne wrote her famous and chilling Diary, a one-of-a-kind testimony of horror and brutality, but all the while a moving portrait of the experiences and feelings of a thirteen-year-old girl who wrote to escape her reality.
Anne died at the Bergen-Belsen camp, in March 1945, but her Diary is still with us, this time illustrated by María Hesse, who, with the characteristic sensibility, symbolism, and tenderness of “one of the illustrators with more personality in Spain today” (Onda Cero), casts a new light over this iconic and heartbreaking text.
