Reseña: The childs diary that awakened the conscience of the world When Zlatas Diary was first published at the height of the Bosnian conflict it became an international bestseller and was compared to The Diary of Anne Frank both for the freshness of its voice and the grimness of the world it describes. It begins as the day-to-day record of the life of a typical eleven-year-old girl preoccupied by piano lessons and birthday parties. But as war engulfs Sarajevo Zlata Filipovic becomes a witness to food shortages and the deaths of friends and learns to wait out bombardments in a neighbors cellar. Yet throughout she remains courageous and observant. The result is a book that has the power to move and instruct readers a world away. The only bright thing to come from [Sarajevos] recent history. -USA Today Conveys the bewilderment and horror of modern-day conflict...One of Zlatas gifts lies in throwing a human light on intolerable events. -San Francisco Chronicle
